1. Sharks are threats to the internet

It looks weird, but in 1987, there was an article about the cables under the ocean stating they were vulnerable to shark attacks, which could cut off the internet by biting through the cables.

This is an old myth. We now know that no incidents have been reported showing sharks as a threat to these cables. However, it might still make a good topic for a sci-fi movie, such as "Revenge of Jaws."

2. Internet bandwidth has no limits

Simply put, the internet is a service provided by companies, universities, and other organizations. These institutions rely on resources such as data centers, networks, cloud resources, servers, and human resources, all of which directly affect the service provided. Even with fiber optic cables, there will always be a bandwidth limit.

3. All your activities are being tracked by your ISP

It isn't entirely true that your ISP tracks and saves all your internet activities—every email sent, request made, websites visited, or photos viewed. Considering millions of users, it would be too expensive to track every action by every person. However, this does not mean that ISPs don't collect information about you and your activities.

4. The internet was invented first for military use

Since the beginning of the internet era, a common stereotype has been: "The internet was invented for the U.S. Army." However, this is not accurate. The internet was invented first and later utilized by the military. The internet was not created but rather adopted and explored by military organizations.

5. Most apps are free to use

There is a saying: "If you don't pay for the product, you are the product!" This applies to apps as well. Many apps seem free, but they aren't. While using these free apps, you are exposed to numerous ads and forced to watch them. Additionally, your data is collected and stored by software, making it a valuable resource for various products.

6. Passwords must be long and complicated

Using complex and strong passwords does not guarantee safety while surfing the internet. To protect against non-traditional and classic attack vectors, a comprehensive security strategy is necessary.

7. A 10 Mbps connection means the exact browsing speed

No, it doesn't! A 10 Mbps data package indicates the maximum internet speed you can achieve. Actual internet speed can vary based on factors such as the distance to the server.
