THE INTERNET: HERE TO STAY
Most people today cannot imagine their life without the Internet. I believe it is one of the most important motivations. Thanks to the World Wide Web, our lives have become easier and more exciting.
First of all, the Internet helps us find information easily. For example, we can read the news and find answers to the questions 24 hours a day. In addiction, we can use the Internet for entertainment. We can send e-mails to friends and shop online. We can even listen to the latest music and watch live sports events from other parts of the world.
However, some people argue that the Internet has a negative effect on society. Internet users become less sociable. They stay at home most of the day instead of going out to shop, work and meet friends.
In my opinion, the Internet has more advantages than disadvantages. Our lives are better with it and I hope it is here to stay.
