Dangers and the benefits of the internet on children

Nowadays this topic is very wide-spread and

discussable in many countries of the world. We can argue about it infinitely; it

leads to many arguments and proofs. But no one can tell confidently whether it’s

harmful for children to the internet or not. When we were given this topic, it

made me think a lot on it, and this miracle of 21st century had me

think it through over and over again. Let’s think about it together. Of course

a few children and teenagers can imagine their life without internet. Because the

internet is everywhere! Internet - it is new friends, infinitely openings of

something new and interesting for you. It is a treasure where children can take

a huge quantity of knowledge and beneficial information.

For someone the internet is the best way to take them away from a real life and for someone it is just a way to spend their free time. The internet is the small world in which our kids can define their interests and emphasize their own individuality. It’s the way that can help them to form communicating skills, and the world in which they can be themselves. According to opinions of scientists, the modern world demands the full kid’s preparations to the moment of entering in the adults’ life and they can’t specialize in the institutes of higher education and in the others further steps of life without these skills.  But we shouldn’t forget about minuses of the internet also. Yes, a child is communicating and cognizing the world by the internet. But do you know with whom he is communicating and what he is cognizing. May be he is visiting forbidden web pages, or communicating with people that can have a bad influence on child’s interests and glances to life. Or he spends too much time by computer while he should eat or make his home tasks. Child can become a person who cannot live without the internet. And the consequence of this depending can be terrible! According to the scientists’ investigations, a child who depends on internet spends hours in a day in the world web. In the breaks between this child can be occupied with study. He sleeps only 5 hours at night! While his organism demands a 9-hour sleep. As a result of all of these, the child becomes nervous and irritable and it can have a negative impact on his psyche. These kids visit the party and such kind of actions rarely. While they spend time in front of computer they can forget that they should eat and their brain needs fresh air. The scientists by whole the world are screaming about alarm and they are worrying about these children. This situation can be stopped by parents. I can recommend them to limit the internet using hours to 38 hours in a week, that is to say 4 hours in a day with imperative breaks for eating and walking on fresh air.

We can count many pluses and minuses of the children usage of the internet and make many conclusions. But I think that everyone will agree with the fact that all of these depend on parents and on the education which is given by them to their offspring!
