Alex Kuen: The Internet



Nowadays, The Internet has become an important part of our lives. There are millions of people who use the Internet in the world every day. However, not everyone is happy with this invention. They think the Internet is changing our lives for the worse. As every coin has two sides, the Internet has advantages and disadvantages.

People enjoy the advantages of the Internet today. It helps us find information easily. When we do some searches, we can find lots information from the Internet. We can use it to find a location, a postal code or a company’s website. In addition, we can share our ideas with other people. Twitter, a mini blog website, is becoming a popular tool to share ideas and information on the Internet. The Internet is an easy way to communicate with others. We make friends from social network websites and enjoy chatting with them. It is also a good way to connect to the family. Especially, if you work and study abroad, video chatting on the Internet makes the distance shorter.

On the other hand, the Internet has diminished quality of our lives in several ways. Some people are addicted to the Internet. They can’t make decisions and find the information without the Internet. They spend all of their time playing the Internet games and give up their studies. We are struggling in amounts of information. The news that comes from the different Medias has different viewpoints. Although we can find the latest news easily on the Internet, they confound us. Because everyone can post messages, it is difficult to judge which one is true or false.
When we use the Internet excitedly, we always ignore its disadvantages.
