Internet
Modern life is easy and fun.
We have all the amenities. We do not need to go to the movies, because we have
big TVs at home. The children have cell phones with large displays. Modern
technology is useful and convenient. In my opinion, Internet is the most
comfortable thing. Computers are also an important invention, but Internet is
better than any other type of information. Originally, Internet was a military
experiment in the USA of 60-s. But soon it became clear that everyone in the
world can use it.
Everybody knows that the
Internet is a global computer network, which embraces hundreds of millions of
users all over the world. The Internet has already entered our ordinary life.
It's hard to imagine our lives without Internet nowadays. It has become an
important part of every person's life. It is clear that the accurate number of
users can be counted fairly approximately, nobody knows exactly how many people
use the Internet today, because there are hundreds of millions of users and
their number is growing.
Nowadays, no one can deny the importance of the
Internet. Sitting in front of a computer, clicking a mouse, you can shop,
download many interesting films, books, read news about subject which is
interesting for you, play computer games with other players, chat and send
mails to your friends. Internet has drastically changed everything. Since the
time of Internet appearance, many other media sources became unnecessary. You
can find the information you're looking for in 5 seconds. It is very convenient
for students, professionals, experts and all other people. From one side, it's
great to have everything right here online, from the other side, it's a shame
that people have stopped reading paper books and newspapers.
Nowadays
the most popular Internet service is e-mail. Most of the people use the network
only for sending and receiving e-mail messages. They can do it either they are
at home or in the internet clubs or at work. With the help of the internet
people from different parts of the planet can communicate with each other and
share information without leaving their home. It has become easier to meet
like-minded people from all over the world and become friends with them.
There is a lot of violence
and cruelty online. People are suffering from inappropriate information on the
Internet, because it is very hard to control information from the Internet.
Although the Internet offers us large amount of information, its reliability is
dubious because many untrue news stories can be posted and cause confusions to
many people. It is very difficult for us to find out what websites are reliable
and what are not. Also you can get blackmail or spam. I think that the Internet
becomes a way of a person life and it is very harmful for our health. Many
teenagers spend a long of time sitting at the computers and spoiling their
eyes. I don't mean that I am against the Internet, but it should have
reasonable limits.
