Sunday, July 11, 2010
With advance technology and good economic of our country, nowadays almost every families own a computer at home and have access to internet. Particularly, teenagers spent most of their time on internet. This is a great concern as spending a large amount of time on the internet may not be a good thing. The reasons behind it can be understood easily, for I'm one of them as well. Most of the time, we will surf the net and visits websites such as facebook, do online-chatting through Messenger or play some online games. But, while we are enjoying these benefits of communication and leisure activities through online chatting and gaming, do we know how to protect ourself from the cyber world? Maybe some may argue so, but when faced with a certain circumstances, it may be an otherwise case. Firstly, when we are browsing though some websites, sometimes there will be some obsence website that may 'pop out' and it can contain virus or some pornography. Secondly, cases of cyber bullying is increasing. I remembered I read about a newspaper article on cyber bullying which led to the death of a teenager. This could be the cause of lack of self-esteem or letting himself being an 'easy target' and not knowing how to protect himself. However, commiting suicide is not the way to solve problems and thus we should learn how to protect ourseleves and not become a victim. Thirdly, spending hours sitting in front of a computer is health-damaging and it can greatly affect our eyesight and lifestyles due to lack of sleep. Illegal downloading of songs is nothing new. Nowadays, we can easily download songs that we like from the websites. On the other hand, Yes, I agree that Internet may be a great help to us because it asisst us in doing research for projects and any data can be found easily through websites like google or yahoo. Poeple can also communicate with one another easily through accessibility through msn, myspace etc. Business meetings can be held through msn-conferencing and thus, save time and effort. Therefore, in conclusion, using internet can led to positive or negative impact depending on how we manage cyber awareness and protect ourselves from all the negatives. Let us enjoy accessing internet and at the same time guard ourselves against danger. -Tricia :)
