reflection on an on-line article

Although the Internet brings us closer to people far away frome us, it also reduces the time we spend with those who are close by. According to this article, we know that the Internet don't always give good influences. If people don't use it wisely, it may be hurt themselves. It is up to human kind how to use the Internet in the right way, or else it may cause people bad influences. Like the article mention the Internet. Although the Internet offers a lot of the bad influence. People use the Internet and become unaware of others who are around them. Nowadays, people are used to chatting in messengers and conversing though the e-mail. But when they actually meet someomn or person, people might not even kown how to communicate properly with other. Because the Internet lets people talk through the windows of the messengers they use, people don't need to meet people, not to mention face to face. Some people even become addicted with using the Internet, such as playing on-line games and chatting with on-line friends. They become alienated with their relatives and friends those who are close by. About this, I had a personal deep feeling to this. My father and mother always watch TV programs whenever they are free at home. They were seldom to talk with children. Also my little sister and older brother always alternate between using the comepure to chat with friends or play games all the time. We were seldomto talk each other either. This article reminds me of one novel "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury. This novel's contents the development of mass media gaining prominece over books. In the novel, people influenced deeply from the television. People pursuit the enjoyment and think book as garbage. And the government controlled people's thinking by the mass media. Think about our society, Internet deep-going our society. Many people believe and depend on what they get from the Internet deeply, and they also lose their independent thinking. Maybe one day we will be like the people who inside the novel "Fahrenheit 451", where they are practically out of control.

  1. The scene you describe seems so familiar. Maybe we should watch less TV and communicate more with our family.
