I can say that the Internet is my second home, not real, but virtual. This is the reality of modern life: we cannot imagine our existence without using the www (World Wide Web). Unfortunately, people are obsessed with the idea of being online... And I'm no exception. I use vkontakte, facebook, twitter, instagram. I am an active user of these social networking sites. I chat with my friends, play online games, listen to music and watch funny videos. I have internet on my phone. On the one hand, it's great that I can watch the news while I'm on the bus/train/subway. On the other hand, I've noticed that I'm an internet junkie... If I don't have anything to do, I open my phone/laptop and surf the web. Sometimes I don't even take my time. The Internet affects my life. The Internet has its pros and cons. Of course, the Internet is a great pleasure for me. Thanks, its developers! But I understand that the Internet can affect us both positively and negatively... I will talk about the positive side of the Internet first. I can talk to anyone from anywhere in the world. I have friends in different countries, so it's easy to talk with them, for example, via skype or viber. Internet helps me to prepare my lessons. I look for additional material almost every day. I find almost everything on the Internet. Great, now I don't have to spend as much time in libraries as my parents did. I like online shopping and it's a real pleasure using the Internet. Now I will tell you about the negative aspects of the Internet. First of all, this is a kind of obsession. People (especially teenagers) can't control themselves. They should always be online. The internet also blocks our brains (sometimes I think so). I can take the composition from the Internet and change it a little, and the homework is ready. We need to think for ourselves, but today we are too lazy to do it, the Internet can do everything for us. That's right.The Internet is a wonderful thing! I am blessed to live in the 21st century with all the modern technology and devices.
