            Technology has been growing rapidly, especially development of the internet. At this time, the Internet is used from the children to adults. Now the Internet is becoming an important requirement in everyday life. Internet has made it possible for us to do lots of things. People can shop online stores like tokopedia, communicate with family and friends via Line and Facebook, watch the latest videos on YouTube, blog and make money from it, and so much more. The Internet has proven to be very useful and has come with lots of advantages.

            I think the Internet has its andvantages and disadvantages. For students like me, the benefits of Internet is very useful in doing the task. Unlike the past, if we want to find something we have to read the book. now if we want to find or know of any information only with a smartphone, we can find out information around the world. The information can be accessed easily and quickly. The internet also provides a variety of reference reports, journal, article and much more. The existence of the Internet can facialitate or expedite a job, for example, there is the task of the lecturer should be collected. The task can be sent via email.  For students like me to communicate with friends, lecturer, or anyone using line and facebook group is needed. Facebook group media can be used to discuss a task or learning even over long distances. Internet can also be for entertaiment. Entertaiment this is one of the major people enjoy surfing the internet – entertaiment. I can watch movies, listen to the music, and play games over the Internet. The Internet has become a mammoth amusement park that never closes.

            For me the internet has a negative impact that makes people lazy just shut up and hold their smartphone. Addiction to Internet just like everything else, people also get addicted to the Internet. This affects their social interactions a great deal. Internet addiction has been known to be a major cause of obesity and has in some cases, led to some diseases like carpal tunnel syndrome. With some help, people addicted to the Internet can overtime this challenge. Terrible impact of Internet kids exposed to adults-only content. The fact that Internet has all information you could ever need is both a good thing and a bad things. This is because it contains ageinappropriate content can be acessed by chidren as young as ten. All guardians and parents can do about it is lock out harmful sites to keep their children safe. Nevertheless, this is not a full prof strategy as children can still acces the Internet from other devices. Internet is very useful if used correctly.
