It seems to me that the internet effect on society is not as extreme as it could be claimed. However, this is a hotly-debated topic whose solution is by no means simple to reach.
On the one hand, it is well-known the vast impact that a breakthrough can have in people. For instance, a huge range of inventions related to the technology and media, like radio or television, have been conducting society to this globalized world where we are more connected than ever before. Nevertheless, if innovation were to be so hazardous, how would have we progressed?
In fact, we have benefited from it, due to our lives have turned out to be more effortless. However, this is a double-edged sword, because we have developed a high dependence on it. While we used to have face-to-face communication with others, now we are becoming more introverted and also more sedentary.
Taking all the arguments into account, the question is if something that humans have created could end up taking control over them.
On balance, I feel that we are so concerned about its apparent power that we are leaving aside the one that we have, that is to say, under no circumstances are we to stop using a not biased reasoning and our common sense. In addition, being humble could be a help, that is to say, thinking about from where we come and who we are.
