INTERNET

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF INTERNET.

Young people spend a lot of time surfing on the internet. More and more children are using computers today. Computer use has got advantages and disadvantages. Some people are asking themselves: Should children be allowed to use computers?

On the one hand, many parents give their children a computer. Today, parents often work long hours, therefore they can’t control their children and they spend a lot of time at the computer.

It is good to have a computer because children can learn information, chat with friends, meet new friends, find information work sent at school, play learning games,; but it is bad to have a computer because children forget their homework and housework, get obsessed and don’t fall asleep.

In conclusion, I think that before having a computer you have to be responsible and know that there are more obligations and you can also get information from an encyclopaedia and a computer isn’t necessary.

INTERNET


For me internet is very cool because I can write to my friends and family. As a matter of fact, I can study for the exams and I can receive information from the school when I do not go to school.

But my parents are not very happy with internet because they tell me that internet is not good for children my age because you do not study, you can get very angry, etc. And it is also very dangerous because there are people older than you who speak with you in messenger or chat about your age, your physical appearance. For this I have not got a computer in my room, so that my parents can look at me when I go into the computer.

INTERNET DANGERS


Internet is a very efficient way to obtain information that is necessary to use adequately. Teenagers and children can be deceived by paedophiles, or others that want to deceive us to obtain information about us and our families thanks to our ignorance and vulnerability. We mustn’t speak with strangers, we mustn’t reveal confidential information through internet, and we mustn’t stay with people that we have known in chats.

Many viruses can enter into our computers when we open certain pages, many people can steal the account of e-mail. Besides there are internet zones that aren’t fit for certain ages and that can hurt the innocence of the person; these pornographic pages can appear at any moment in an unexpected form. In internet there are pages that foment smoking, violence, drugs, … and it is necessary to avoid this.
