Greetings, everyone.
According to the contest question, should it be considered a fundamental human right?
I said yes because it is one of the social tools for releasing other fundamental human rights in the world, and without exercising this right, the world will be aimless because of the technological age we are in. Things are changing every day. An Internet paradigm shift is evolving. The Internet has taken over the world, and the majority of people are into it for expression, freedom to opportunities, economic opportunities, access to information, and access to educational materials, which is what is giving the educationist the joy of accessing the Internet without obstruction. Through the internet, information and emotions are easily accessed and expressed fundamentally.
However, this present technology has made it easier for people. Before a written letter could reach another person in another state or country, it took days or a week before it could reach the recipient. Now, through the use of the internet, we have freedom of communication. We communicate with our loved ones easily and speedily. Through communication, we can share our thoughts, feelings, emotions, and opinions easily. The Internet is interesting, I can stay in the comfort of my home and communicate with anybody in the world, so it shouldn't be violated. The United Nations made us understand that disconnecting people from the internet violates the law, and if such individual is caught, they will be in jail.
Furthermore, Job opportunities are easily offered online. Business transactions or financial transactions are easily processed online without going to the bank. Yesterday, I did a lot of transactions; that was my first time using my bank application to make a transfer. All this while I have been using my small phone for transfer. Yesterday, I enjoyed my Android phone while making the transaction with ease, with no exit limit. So not having access to the Internet can lead to economic and financial exclusions in the world.
Internet, as a fundamental human right, provides free access to educational resources and research outlets that would be of help to lecturers and students in the institution of learning. Many students are relying on digital learning. A lot of educational activities are carried out online, and soon, the library in the school will be extinct, and no student will likely go in there to carry out research or an assignment. Everything has been provided online to obtain crucial details needed for our educational pursuit. Without the Internet, students, teachers and many miss out on educational opportunities. This is our digital age, let's use the opportunity wisely and intellectually.
The Internet is a big blessing that connects people globally, socially, economically, academically, and politically. It has been of support to many across the world. It has taken away suffering and provides opportunity and opportunities. A lot of young men and women meet their spouses online and they get engaged and married. Therefore, the Internet is a gateway and should be considered a fundamental human right and not to be violated. It is something we can live with in the long run, and it will affect us positively if we maximize it well, and the world will be a better place to engage more.
