INTERNET ADDICTION

Internet addiction is becoming very common among teens today. Not only teens, in some rare cases even adults are getting addicted. Especially social networking sites like facebook are making things worse. It doesnot mean that i am not using internet at all. I agree with those who argue about the advantages of internet, which contains huge amount of data about all possible things from 10^-12 to 10^12. We can find so much of raw data ranging from minute atoms to large galaxies in the web.There are people who showcase their talents in the internet by creating a website for their own photography, blogs and paintings. By this method, they reach out to people far and wide.
Internet is regarded as a powerful media, in which any news can be spreaded even faster than a forest fire.
There are people who misuse the internet by posting porn videos and this encourages many pedophiles.
As every technology has got both positive side and negative side, internet also has positive and negative impacts on the society.
Crime rates increase in some countries, because of orkut. People should be aware of the dangers posed by sharing personal information in social networking sites with strangers.
PLEASE SEE THIS VIDEO WHICH HIGHLIGHTS BOTH THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF USING FACEBOOK.
I think this video explains the negative side of using the facebook to share data with strangers, with a little bit of humour. I now think that the title for this post should have been "FACEBOOK ADDICTION" instead of "internet addiction".
Some people are extremely addicted that they live with facebook in their lives, posting every incident that happens in their daily life. Some of my friends in facebook are highly addicted to it that i see them posting something everyday. They are addicted to facebook.
I hope this post will help someone, or change someone's mind, as not to post personal things in facebook.
The world is large and different types of people live in it, what may look good for one person may not suit another.
Likewise, people may post something that may really look funny to them, but it may hurt someone's feelings.
So, in short facebook and internet are powerful medias which can be used for good purposes or for bad purposes.
P.S- Whatever i have posted above is my personal view of the world of internet. Views and opinions may differ from people to people. Your valuable comments are most welcome. Thank u for ur patience.
