the effects of the internet

Nowadays, the internet not only plays an important role in our daily life but also affects the society. No matter the news is nice or bad, it will be spread through the net. However, the definition of the importance of internet for everyone is different and indefinitely. We do not know whether it is benefit to you or harm for you. It all depends on your choice. As the article said, “the information technologies are not changing what we do. Rather, they are change the way we do it!” If you chose to waste all your time on playing online games instead of searching useful information, or you chose to spend your time on the internet more than you chat with your parents face to face, the internet would be the killer for you. On the contrary, the internet will be your helper when you work, do the homework or do the research, keep in touch with someone, even find the one that you have not heard from him or her for a long time, just like facebook, which is the one of popular net in the world, and connect the world with you that you can know anything happened in the world on the daily basis. How paradox situation it is! In my opinion, I think we can be the friend with the internet, but not be addicted in it and do not forget to spend our time staying with our family and friends in our reality life. (250)
