The Internet is the most useful invention of our generation. The accumulated effects of the Internet include significant contributions in the areas of education, the creation of jobs and furthering of professions, and an exponential increase in the amount and variety of entertainment for leisure time. It is the intent of this paper to evaluate the pros and cons or advantages and disadvantages of the Internet in the areas of education, professional and leisure activities.

This shift to a more egalitarian and open approach to providing courses is having a disruptive impact on the courses offered from such world-known educational institutions including University of California, Berkeley, Stanford, MIT and others. Many of these courses are offered free of charge and only require access to the Internet. In recent media reports regarding an artificial intelligence source offered in this format by Stanford University, thousands of people signed up and attended for free. The Internet is a very strong catalyst of positive change in global education as a result. Of the many innovations from a learning standpoint occurring today, the ability to tailor learning programs to the specific needs of students through a technique called scaffolding shows significant potential as well (Najjar, 37, 38). Scaffolding is the use of online applications to create a very unique and customized experience for students.
