The Internet is a great invention of modernity. If you think about it, when did people still have such opportunities to communicate and exchange information, as now? Could our grandparents imagine that it would be possible at any moment to connect with relatives living on another continent? Read any book without going to the library, buy goods, without leaving home? See, thanks to the webcam, what is happening in another part of the world right now? Chat with a foreign singer on Twitter?
As well as almost everything in our life, the Internet can bear both advantage, and harm. They say there is a lot of unverified information. And the Internet teaches us to a sedentary lifestyle, which is unhealthy. Likely, therefore parents do not allow me to spend in the Network a lot of time.
The Internet is a vast expanse of information and communication, which is easy to get lost. And it often happens that I read something useful and interesting and somehow imperceptibly ended up on an unfamiliar site, where you have been reading some gossip for the last half hour ... Or spend hours chatting with Vkontakte friends instead of meeting in the courtyard.
