what is the internet for me? i can say internet is my second home, not real, of course, but virtual. it’s a reality of modern life: we can’t imagine our existence without the use of www (world wide web). it’s a pity but people are obsessed with the idea of being online. and i’m not an exception. i use vkontakte, facebook, twitter, instagram. i’m an active user of all these social networking sites. i chat with my friends, play online games, listen to music and watch funny videos. i have the internet in my phone. for one hand, it’s cool that i can watch news when i go by bus/train/metro. from the other hand, i notice that i’m keen on the internet. if i have nothing to do, i open my phone/laptop and surf the internet. sometimes i don’t even take the time. the internet impacts my life.
the internet has pros and cons. of course, for me the internet is a great pleasure. thanks, developers of it! but i understand that the internet can influence us both positively and negatively. first of all i tell about a positive side of the internet. i can communicate with any person from any part of the world. i have friends in various countries so it’s easy to talk with them by skype or viber for instance. the internet helps me to prepare my lessons. i seek for additional material practically every day. i can find almost everything in the web. so cool, now i needn’t to spend many hours in libraries as my parents spent. i like shopping online and with the help of the internet is a real pleasure. i order cloths and other items on aliexpress.
now i’ll tell you about cons of the internet. first of all it’s a kind of obsession. people (especially teenagers) can’t control themselves. they need to be all the time in the internet. the internet also blocks our brain (i think so sometimes). i can just take the composition from the internet, transform it a little bit and the homework is ready. we need to think ourselves but nowadays we are too lazy to do this, the internet can do everything for ourselves. it’s true.
the internet is a great thing! i’m happy to live in the 21st century with all modern technologies and devices.
