Other disadvantages --- I would argue that, while it is true that there are many benefits to the use of internet, there are also many downsides that go beyond the security risks. As more and more services are offered via internet, in some cases the users do not have the option anymore to do thinks in the old fashion way. We are becoming completely dependent upon the online services offered by the banks, utility services, schools, etc. For some this might not be a problem, but for those that are not familiar with the online world, it might pose risks of abuses, fraud or simply become outsiders.
