The document discusses life in cyberspace and both the pros and cons of increased internet usage. It notes that while the internet allows access to vast information and ability to connect with others, overuse can lead to addictive behaviors and privacy issues. Cybercrimes like hacking, financial theft, and terrorism are on the rise. While the internet enlightens, it also tempts users with dark aspects. Especially for adolescents, heavy internet usage may isolate users from real-world communication and relationships, potentially causing mental health issues. Moderation and balance are important for a healthy online experience.

Life in Cyberspace
By: Shelina Rajawat
The internet is becoming the town square for the global village of tomorrow.
Internet is a real space.Everytime we switch on our computers,or login to a social media’s site
,use a programme or an application, we enter a virtual space made up of words ,forums
,domains
and rooms.But we behave differently when we interact with technology, it implifies and
accelarate our deeds.It can help us find useful information, benefit for a wide range of services
and stay in touch with our friends,but it can also create addictive type behaviour and
sublimanilly
manupilate us online.Therefore just like two sides of the coin ,it has got both pro’s and
con’s,just
don’t let the words confuse you-Internet is any set of computer network that communicates
using the internet protocol while cyberspace is a world of information through the internet.
The term cyberspace was was first coined by William Cyibson and defined as a consexual
hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators.Online experiences
challenges
what many have tradionally called identity,as on the internet many people recast identity in
terms
of multipe windows and parallel lives.
The mode of freedom is constructed through computer culture because indivisual can access
unlimited information and create unlimited identities.But there is the truth “with sweet comes
the bitter”.
One single vulnerability is all an attacker needs.With increase in cyberspace comes increase in
the cyber crimes.The financial crime they steal the money of the account holder likewise they
stole the data of companies which can lead to financial crimes.Also transactions are heavily

risked because of them.Every year hackers steal lakhs and crores of rupees of businessmen and
government.
Privacy crimes happen in which people steal your private data which you don’t want to share
with the world.Moreover ,due to this people suffer a lot and some even commit sucide because
of
there data’s misuse.In hacking,they intentionally deface a website to cause damage to the user
or
any public forum.Apart from that ,they destroy or make changes in the existing website to
diminish the nature.
Modern day terrorism has grown way beyond it was 10-20 years ago.But cyber terrorism is not
just related to terrorism or terrorist organisation.But to threat some person or property to the
level
of creating fear is also cyber terrorism.
But as you may know,”with tempting comes bait”,everything that enlightens you from outside
welcomes the dark tempting world. But with intelligence and presense of mind we can avoid
such things.Similarly, cyber crime is not something which we cannot deal ourselves. Likewise
with little use of common sense and logic we can stop cyber crimes from happening.
Everyday use of cyberspace can affect the social well being of all who use it as it hinders real
world communication among indivisuals.Now comes the most talked about age adolscents.A lot
of research is showing that the heavy use of cyberspace is isolating the people from world
around them.Knowing the fact that most of the times of adolscents are spent on cyberspace, it
creates a loop hole of space in there life.When a lot of people think that there lives are greatly
benefited by the cyberspace a many say otherwise. It seems as if they are growing in a virtual
world rather than the real world making them away from their parents and social sphere.

Therefore I would like to conclude by saying we should not forget the most important
consequence of growing in the cyberspace that is loss of social life and lack of communication
in relationships ,which can lead to some serious mental issues. Perhaps that the cost no one
should be paying for such stupid thing.Balance is all required for a healthy cyberlife. Human
interaction is way more satisfying and healthy than a chat.
