EFFECTS OF THE INTERNET

In our century, internet is like a basic need already in the society. Nowadays, internet is everywhere; you could find it in school, in businesses, and even in our homes. Internet makes our life easier because it fastens our daily work that’s why we could say that internet is very important to the society. But we never realized as we keep on depending our life to the internet, it’s also slowly destroying us; physically, mentally and socially.

Many studies conducted that internet has many positive effects on us but counterpart with many negative effects also to us. First, the physical effect of the internet would be the illnesses we get from the computer since internet is accessible only through the computer. When we are already depending our work to our laptop or personal computer, more often than not we occupied our whole day facing the computer since we are doing something important and never realized that we have skipped already our meals just to finish something important on the computer. We could have back pains, our eyes will be irritated because of too much exposure to the computer monitor and stomach ache because of skipping of meals. Second, there’s also a negative effect in our mental or intellectual capacity because we depend too much in the internet about scientific studies, news, or anything that could help our work. Sometimes we get wrong information from the internet because most of the times through the internet many people know to steal work from others which is called plagiarism. We thought that the information we read or we get from the internet are true and already proven but as we use this in the real situation it is not really applicable and true enough to use. Third, socially because many scientific studies conducted that internet could make a person experience depression, loneliness or social isolation. The reason with this is because of too much taking time to sit down and facing the computer without even realizing that you have a lesser time or sometimes don’t have time already interacting to the real people, your family and friends. You are too much fed up with these things in the internet and forget that you have a social life. But we know that things are not always in bad side, internet also has a good side of it and that’s the reason why keep on dealing with internet despite of the negative effects to us. It’s a personal choice and we know that too much of something is bad, so it’s how we live our life having the internet everywhere.
