The disadvantage of the Internet(final version)

Nowadays, our life has mostly been shaped by technology. And one of the greatest impacts of technology is no other than the Internet. We have been using it in every aspect of our lives, such as searching for information, checking E-mails, and even buying everything. But there is a problem. As the Internet grows more mature, people have gradually started being addicted to it.

The worst disadvantage of the Internet is addiction. People would spend much time online. Unlike gambling and alcoholism, people are gradually addicted to it without knowing it through visiting websites, checking E-mails and chatting via instant messengers. Before long, they would neglect their work, school, families and sleep, to go online. And eventually that would lead to deep addiction.

The second disadvantage of the Internet is the confusion between the real world and the visual world. Many teenagers would access social networking sites for visual friendships. Often times, those new friends might use fake personal information in order to induce you to meet with them. And when it comes to meeting in person, they tend to ignore the hidden risks of kidnap and rape.

Whether or nor these disadvantages could be serious problems depends on how you regard them. After all, the Internet is a tool. Your work, school, families, and sleep should not be sacrificed at the mercy of the Internet. Record the time you spend online and remember that person-to-person interaction can not be replaced by visual interaction would definitely help you solve those problems.
