It’s been decades since we are using the internet. Still, people do have some myths in mind that hinder their appropriate internet utilization. Although people are using the internet and appreciating its usage, they are influenced by the myths they hear every day. It not only discourages the usage of new developments rather affects their productivity too. Due to the misconceptions about the internet, people sometimes use the old technologies that decline their productivity levels.
This blog is exclusively for people who use older or obsolete technology just because they hesitate to use the new ones due to the roaming rumors.
Uncovering The Common Internet Myths
Read through the blog to know more about the internet and its common internet myths.
1. Your ISP Spies On You
Many internet users think their internet service providers track them and their information for their personal gains. Well, technically this is possible yet not practically.
The ISPs do not have enough resources to track and store the information they may get from you. However, when you sign the contract with the ISP, they ask for certain tracking permissions for certain reasons. So even if they do, they can not be charged under the law.
If you have basic internet usage, you do not worry. But, if you have a big office or corporation whose information should not be leaked. You must opt for a reliable ISP. Also, you must know the safety rules while browsing online.
2. Internet Can Make You Rich
After seeing influencers and YouTubers making money and getting fame altogether by just using the internet in the right way, people have made a conception that it is too easy to make money through the internet.
Undoubtedly, people are earning money and living their life well with the help of opportunities that are available due to the advancements of the internet itself. IoT has changed the world’s marketing methods and there is no magic wand which these people waved to become famous and rich. They worked and worked hard to maintain their earnings. Thus, even if you want to make a career in the opportunities offered by the internet, you will have to work hard. Also, you will need to learn the marketing strategies which will help you to succeed faster.
Please note that making a career over the internet is similar to making a career offline.
Tip – Never get trapped in ‘become rich through the internet’ schemes. They are all false, led by false people.
3. You Must Trust Whatever Is There On The Internet
The Internet has a lot of information. Rather, it has information about anything and everything. However, have you ever noticed that many times you would have got different information about the same thing?
For instance, some may say that almonds are good for health, whereas on other websites you may read that almonds do not give significant nutritional benefits.
The fact is, everything is uploaded by people around the world. Authenticity is important to examine. Thus, you must cross-check the information that you read on the internet before sharing it with others. As it is one of the ways the rumor spreads. Make sure you spend your internet time productively so that you do not regret the information you got from it.
4. Unlimited Data Packs Are Real
Well! We feel too unfortunate to say that unlimited data packs are a myth. Usually what happens is, when a certain limit of your internet pack exhausts, the internet service providers reduce the internet speed to the extent that you will be unable to perform even a single task in 5 minutes.
You will be unable to prove that they falsely claimed unlimited internet as they are giving internet access. However, they never defined the internet speed. You may get some good companies that genuinely provide unlimited internet at a constant speed.
It more often happens with cellular or mobile phone data packs.
5. 5G Won’t Make You Feel Sick
“Although 5G internet technology seems promising to upgrade living standards and business operations. It does not mean it is free from disadvantages.” You must know that 5G technology is going to give you a lot of ‘just imagine’ experiences when it comes to your phone.
Do not worry, it is fine to use 5G and does not have significant or considerable disadvantages. You are all free to use it when it becomes accessible to you.
6. Cloud Is Not Literal Cloud
Well, we said many times that cloud computing does not have any relation to the white fluffy clouds in the sky. Just because they give you remote access to your data, they are called clouds (could be anywhere, anytime).
So if you hear someone proving the relation of cloud computing with natural clouds, make sure you clear their myths and tell them why scientists give it the name ‘cloud’.
The Bottom Line
Internet myths are an all-time trending topic. Many people have numerous misconceptions about the internet, so you should stay aware of these things to improve your internet consumption. Debunk the internet myths and let them work freely on the internet.
