Internet – The good and bad
What difference has the Internet made to your life?
Can you imagine life without email and the world wide web?
Write in giving your views on what you like – and hate – about being online. (220-260 words)
Is the Internet predominant in your life?
The Internet, a recent innovation, has turned into an extremely useful tool affecting our lives.
This aspect raises two interesting questions: ‘How does it affect me? And, ‘Can I make it through my day without it?’
Read below and find out.
Not many people remember how life was before The Internet spreading: nowadays, we completely entrust to it to address any issues. For instance, whether a student or a worker, it hasn’t made any difference to me: I ascribe my success in the business field to it. Having spent lots of hours surfing the Net flicking through hundreds of pages for specific info – some of which misleading – I, as many other people, can claim it’s a blessing. What’s more, it enables one to converse with foreigners, thing impossible a decade ago.
Anyway, from my experience, the only setback worth mentioning arises when one get hooked on it. There’s a slight difference between correct use and addiction. If one’s addicted, it can be hard to get him to detach from it and get back to the real world. For example, introverted people log in to seek relief and somebody who backs them up, and are therefore not able to get by themselves. So, they seem to be far more likely to come down with this addiction, which is generally described a psychological ill.
In any case, what the Internet can’t provide is humanity, meant as face-to-face conversations and interactions. That’s why I prefer to keep away from overusing it, despite being grateful for its existence. The question is: ‘Can you do it either?’
