There are many reasons for Internet’s rapid development in china. First as a convenient source of information as well as an efficient means of communication Internet becomes more and more useful to our study and work. Second due to fierce competition computer companies have lowered the price of their products. The cheaper computers become the more users there are. With computer they can easily have access to the Internet. In addition with the development of our society and the improvement of our living standard people in china pursue a more colorful life with Internet; some even often do some shopping through the Internet.

Internet is also a sword with two edges. It brings about troubles for us. One common problem is computer viruses.
