The Internet is a source of information and useful for people, while others believe it can be harmful for people, to what extent do you agree with this statement?

It is commonly believed that internet is just like a wonder box which contains many types of information. People can easily access internet wherever and whenever they wish. Furthermore, it also helps people to communicate easily throughout the world with another. In contrast, internet can give some advantages for people such as ignoring social interaction with neighbors and students tend to ignore homework because of addicted with online game.

To begin, in this digital era, by only accessing to the internet, people throughout the world can communicate easily with others from different countries. Moreover, they can talk face to face through video call or Skype. By using this technology, people don’t need to write and send letter to their friends via post that will take several months to read and reply. Furthermore, internet can ease many activities in many fields such as in bureaucracy, economy, and education. In education for example, students can easily access to many international journals in the world and find the information of scholarship on website. They also can attend online learning with many students from different countries.

On the other hand, internet also have some downsides, people tend to spend much time in front of internet and ignore to associate with the society. Moreover, students also spend much time with online game and ignore their study and homework. Then, many negative sites such as pornography and brutality are provided on internet. As a consequence, these sites affect children’s psychology; they can easily imitate what they read and watch.

In a nutshell, internet is like double sites of sword, it can give many advantages and useful for many people. Also, we couldn’t doubt that it gives many disadvantages and negative impact for people especially for children. I can suggest that, children who access internet need guidance from their parents or teachers in order to protect them from negative sites.
