Week #6: Media

Topic: The internet and its changes

A few years ago, the time was used to perform the remaining tasks. The world walked slower because there was no need to rush. There was time for all, for the family, friends and for oneself. People depended on themselves to learn and do their things. There was nothing that could do it all for us and, because of that, the people were much smarter. Everything changed when one of the greatest inventions of human beings came to light, the internet.
                                                                                      
The internet is in everywhere, in photos, news, jobs, history and in other things because we use it for everything. We even use the internet to learn how do to like it a person. We do not let our intellect develops. Sadly, every generation is going backward and not forward. Obviously, the internet is not completely bad for humans. There are advantages that we can get from it. If we use it wisely, we can use it to learn things necessary for life. The internet has made many things better like making processes more efficient, simplifying the searching of information, the distance communication in real time, and has saved the cost of sending messages. The big problem is that the internet is a "parasite" that steals our time. We have created a dependence which has caused us to neglect our personal and professional things. How much would you spend the internet daily? Probably we spend a total of 5 hours. This is the average time that we lose every day. We walk, study, talk, eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, sleep and even we think using the internet. This separates us from the real world causing us to live in a cyber-world.

In conclusion, like everything, there are good things and bad things. We just have to balance our use of the internet to make it beneficial in our lives. Misuse of this can damage our lives forever.
