The Internet

The internet is basic need of the younger generation today. They could survive without food but can't survive without the internet. It is a strong addiction that could be good as well as bad. It is also easier than ever to access the internet, whether you are using a phone, a tablet or a computer. There is no doubt people are using the internet more, despite the consequences.

The internet is advantageous if people use it wisely. We could acquire information easier with the help of the internet. This can help us get our assignments done quicker. It could also help us widen our knowledge and improve our grades. The internet also allows us to communicate with people from other countries. For example, if you have a close friend or a relative that you want to keep in touch with, with just a click of a button, you could start communicating with them. Normally, you would have to send a letter and it would take from a week to even a month for the letter to reach them but now we could receive a message in a matter of seconds. 

The internet is also disadvantageous if not used correctly. Some younger people get addicted to online gaming and this can mean they spend too much time on playing that they neglect other important things, such as studying, sleeping or eating. In addition, excessive use of the internet will cause social problems as they spend most of their time facing their computer screen than facing actual people.

To sum it all up, spending time on the internet can bring positive and negative effects to everyone. Personally, I think that the internet is a wonderful tool and the benefits of it outweighs the dangers. However, we should always be cautious and use the internet wisely.
