The Internet: Good or Evil?

Internet is a useful tool to work and study, nowadays you can find all types of information totally free and just a second of searching on web. The new generations of students (specially the teenagers between 12 and 15) can’t imagine do home works just with books and encyclopedias, they really need internet to search and download material to study and work… but internet isn’t really “safe” how it look…
So, what it’s wrong with internet for teenagers (and all of us)?


1. Distractions.
Internet allows a lot of distractions, especially to children’s between 12 and 15… Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube and others are “free time” web pages; on there you can chat with friends, see funny videos, photos and loss a lot of useful time.
2. It’s addictive.
The news smartphones brings you the possibility to stay connected all day, it means –for example- have a conversation by chat in the middle of a class. It’s difficult the relationship between teenagers and smartphones because the internet it’s addictive and looks like a door of exit of social time with parents, with other people, of important classes and –in some cases- parties with friends.
3. XXX.
Pornography is in every place of internet and his access is free. This exposition to adult content changes the sexual view to the other sex, creates a false expectative about sexual relations and in some extreme cases causes psicologic trauma.

This easy access to the information is an evil or good tool for our day life if we know or don’t know how to use it. It’s a work for parents educate about the benefits and risks of the internet to teenagers and maybe a work of all the community because all of us uses internet and remember this points is necessary once in a while.

  2. Hello Gonzalo, when I read your blog I feel that we have commun opinions about the Internet and its effect in teenagers. But also believe that a solution is the correct accessibility that the parents should give to their children, for example not buy internet to the smartphones of the childrens.

    Regard.

    …, they really needTHE internet to search
    … isn’t really AS “safe” (how) AS it lookS…
    …and WASTE (loss) a lot of useful time.
    The new(s) smartphones bring(s)
    …(It’s difficult the relationship between teenagers and smartphones) the relationship between teenagers and smartphones IS DIFFICULT because the internet (it’s) IS addictive and 3. XXX.
    Pornography is in every place of THE internet and THE ACCESS TO IT IS FREE (his access is free.)
    This (exposition) EXPOSURE to adult content
    …causes (psicologic) PSYCHOLOGICAL trauma.
