“IS THE INTERNET BAD FOR YOUNG PEOPLE”
Mirzarakhmatova Nargiza
The Internet has came into our life relatively recently, but has firmly taken an important place in it. People began to receive information from the World Wide Web, work and communicate in the network. As with any phenomenon, the Internet has its advantages and disadvantages. Let's consider them in more detail.
Let's look at it from the positive side first. The Internet is the greatest invention of mankind, which made life easier. Its first plus is, of course, the available information. Now you can find out any of the topics that interest you or concern you. It is enough to click on your smartphone or computer a couple of times and that's it, you already get everything you want. Easy, fast and convenient!
The second plus of the Internet is that it is a "world wide web", that is, it covers the entire population of the Earth, regardless of place of residence. For example, a person from Russia can easily write to a person from China, well, provided there is no language barrier. By the way, now there are just a huge number of sites on the Internet where they can really help to learn one or another language. By the way, this is another advantage of the Internet. Another positive quality can be described alone with the short word "leisure". Also on the Internet you can find entertainment to your taste. And now you are downloading the series, listening to music, choosing a game for yourself and thinking about which book you will start reading.
But not everything is so good. As they say: "Now let's look at the other side of the coin". Cons on the Internet can also be found. For example, a child looking for something on some website may stumble upon material unsuitable for his age in the form of commercials or some kind of inserts. People can also find articles on the Internet that can be regarded as a call to suicide, extremist activity or propaganda of something. Advertising of alcoholic beverages, drugs, dietary supplements or tobacco products is not prohibited on the entire Internet. Also, since people are very actively communicating on the Internet, not knowing each other in real life, sometimes abusive behavior occurs, leading to conflicts and serious consequences.
The sides of the Internet are quite different and only a person himself can decide for himself which one he accepts and how uses the internet. But still, no matter how bad and threatening the Internet may seem at first glance, it has a sufficient number of positive aspects, which allows us to say with confidence that the Internet is an insanely useful invention.
