Jan led a more fulfilling life and got support from the online community. Then she was inspired to offer help to a larger group of older people and was determined to make the society better by bridging the digital divide. Her life has been greatly improved.

I think there are a few disadvantages from using the Internet, such as the lack of privacy. Sharing everything online means people can know everything about us.
Besides, internet addiction, cyberbully, internet mass hunting...If we want the Internet plays more in our life, we should solve those problems. Maybe the government can help by lawmaking.
Thank you
