The Role of the Internet in Our Life
I think the Internet is a really useful thing. Nowadays we even can’t imagine our life without it. The Internet has become mass media number one for many people.
Firstly, with the help of the Internet people can find a lot of useful and important information. Secondly, the can communicate with each other using the Internet. Besides, we made new friends, study foreign languages and play games. Moreover, the Internet helps us to do our homework especially on such subjects as Literature, History, Geography and others.
But on the other hand, the Internet takes too much time. People don’t have time for reading, sport, their relatives and friends. Besides, the Internet is very dangerous for people’s health. If a person spends too much time using a computer, he can spoil his eyes.
So, we can make a conclusion, that the Internet is very important mass media. But it has some disadvantages. That’s why we should use it properly.
