The modern world cannot progress quickly without the internet. Previously, it was a luxury, but now it has become a necessity in every household.
This is the most serious problem among students today. They spend the maximum part of their day on the internet and hardly have any interactions with their family members. This leads to weak family bonds. The students who spend most of the time surfing the internet end up with an unhealthy body due to lack of physical exercise, low grades in academics because they just keep on surfing useless things, and a distance from family members because they do not have time to sit with family and talk.
On the other hand, The Internet is where we can find information about everything under the sky. It is the most needed thing around the globe. Businesspeople, teachers, traders, students, everyone is dependent on the internet for their work. No matter if you are a middle-class person or a millionaire, all you need is the internet, sometimes for your work and sometimes for entertainment. For example, Carolina Cano is a young Hispanic student whose parents live in another country from her. “There are so many benefits from having access to the internet the main thing that I enjoy about it is that I can facetime my parents who I am not physically there, but I am at least there through the phone”. For Carolina and many others this is the only way of contact with their friends and family from far away.
If we talk about students, there are many uses of the internet in a student’s life. E-tutorials, college projects, exam preparations and many more activities can be done on the internet which can help students in their studies. “The good thing about the internet is that you can study easier than having to read a big book that is what I did when I was in high school. But now I use the internet to contact my clients and other things as well”. stated Yamilex F a young businesswoman who is still trying to find the ropes on running her business.
But the fact that anything can be harmful is applicable here also. On the internet, young kids can easily get introduced to inappropriate websites such as, porn, violence, etc. These kinds of websites are available in large numbers. As well as, Cyberbullying is the use of technology to harass, threaten, embarrass, or target another person. Online threats and mean, aggressive, or rude texts, tweets, posts, or messages all count. So does posting personal information, pictures, or videos designed to hurt or embarrass someone else. “Honestly, it's hard now days because now anyone can end up on an inappropriate website and I fear that for my younger siblings it's not okay that this can happen", stated Jennifer Rosario, an older sister to her two younger siblings and does everything she can to help them with anything they need.
In conclusion, The Internet is one of the prime needs of today’s world. The Internet is where we can find information about everything under the sky, but can also be a dangerous and toxic place for young adults and children.
