Internet has become an integral part of our life today and we cannot think of spending a single day without it. From office to personal work to entertainment, we seek internet connectivity. Sometimes I wonder how people could carry on with their day-to-day activities and pastimes in the pre-internet era. But as I go deeper into the real life situation, I also feel that too much of technology has made our life stale and mechanical. We exist more in the virtual world of internet and spend less time and effort in real life.
The internet has changed our life-style enormously and it has both positive and negative effects. It all depends on how we use it. Technology can play a positive role in our lives, but we need to be careful about how much time we allow our children to spend on the computer. An inappropriate time period in front of the computer will have a negative effect on their upbringing. Many teenagers are very adept in building relations in social network through internet but they are unable to form a real life social connection, which is bad. TSeachers and the parents have a role to play here so that the future generation does not lose its way in the maze of internet.
