Networks play a significant role in our daily lives, as they enable us to connect with one another and access a vast amount of information and resources. For example, networks allow us to communicate with friends and family through social media and messaging apps, access news and entertainment through websites and streaming services, and make purchases online.

Networks, such as the internet and mobile networks, allow us to communicate with others quickly and easily, regardless of where they are located. One of the most obvious ways that networks influence our daily lives is through the use of social media. Social media networks like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter have changed the way we interact with each other and consume news and information. Online commerce platforms like Amazon, and eBay have changed the way we shop, making it easy to purchase goods and services from the comfort of our own homes. The ease of shopping from the comfort of one’s home and fear of Covid-19 pandemic in the recent past have encouraged consumers to shop their daily use goods online. India’s e-commerce industry recorded a 36.8% year-on-year growth in 2022 only.
Networks also influence and improve the healthcare monitoring in the real time by connecting wearable health care gadgets to the network. Wearable health care systems can communicate with relevant responders in case of emergencies like accidents or other medical conditions that require immediate medical attention. For example, An Apple watch saved life of a 54 years old man by warning about his abnormal heart rate.
Although networks have become an essential and integral part of our daily lives, shaping how we communicate, access information, and move around the world but they have their own disadvantages as discussed next.
Some of the key downside of using networks in our daily life includes privacy concerns as network applications often collect and share personal data without our knowledge or consent. Similarly, we become more vulnerable to cyber attacks ranging from simple scams and viruses to more sophisticated hacking attempts that can compromise sensitive personal and financial information. More serious issues like addictive social media use, spread and consumption of disinformation and misinformation, cyber-bullying and harassment etc. can also happen as a result of daily usage of networks.
Networks have many benefits, however, it's important to be aware of the potential downsides, and to take steps to minimize the risks associated.
