What is the impact of the internet on our welfare? Does it take the scrutiny in our lives? We like to be up-to-date at every minute, derive everything we want with only a click. Our information is everywhere, they can stalk us whenever they want to, and grimly on we think it is thrilling to be a stalker. We roam through the internet searching for something without an aim. We feel drawn to anything it is on the internet, even if it is the dark side of it.
Some people find the internet as a way of unwinding their lives; another group finds it as a way of new and accessible information, and finally, there are those ones that want to give a new approach in their life and they think the internet is their salvation. One study asserts that excessive internet is related to the rise in obesity and depression, they are linking with online games and social media. But there are online games that are interactive and intellectually challenging, the problem is that these games are so attractive that they can become addictive. Decidedly most people think that schools and colleges ought to include lessons in internet awareness, and what’s more, the acknowledges of cyberbullying due to the uploading too much personal information onto web pages.
On the other hand, the internet has made possible the ability to make new friends without a face-to-face conversation and to keep in touch with friends outside the school and family. A great point is that people are making use of the internet to search for information for school, work projects, or just to study something to expand their limits on a certain topic.
The internet has taken an important place in our lives. And there is only a fine line between addiction and the good use of it. Nobody teaches us how to really use the internet in a good way. We can say that it enhances our lives in some aspects but have a hard-back that there is only a step to become a slave to it.
