Disadvantages Of Using The Internet Too Much By Children

After reading the online article “10 Great Things Teens Learn While “Playing” Online” by Christy Matte and the magazine article “ Teens and the Internet: How Much is Too Much? “ by Stephanie Newman , it is clear that teens should be limited to the amount of time used online daily. The use of the internet may be beneficial; it all depends on how the student uses it. Teens should not be able to use a significant about of time online because it affects their social isolation, physical and also mental health.

Growing up as a child I've always used the internet as a source to chat with my friends and family online, to do my homework, and play games. I’ve been on the internet since I was 10 years old. It’s a reliable source I always go to answer my questions. Our society now relies on the internet to answer all of our questions on a daily basis. In Nicholas Carr article his beliefs are that the internet has changed our society in many ways and it has created a negative effect to our way of thinking. However, the internet has provided a positive interaction to college students knowledge, such as YouTube videos offering tips on how to fix things, learn different languages, and how to solve classroom related problems.

The internet can be a dangerous outlet for teens. According to "Teens and the Internet: How Much is too Much?" by Stephanie Newman, "those who abuse the internet can become trapped in a cyber riptide of sorts, pulled in further and further as their time on-line increases, their school performance declines, and their family and peer

Some people might say that the internet affects the ability for children to learn (VKool 2009-2017). The use of the internet might cause children to abandon their families because they might want to be on the computer rather than wanting to spend time with family. Also thinking

The risks and possible consequences for children and young people of being online or using a mobile phone can be numerous

The internet is something that has affected the last few generations. Today's students are affected immensely because they are young, impressionable, and exposed to many more resources through the internet. In Andrea Lunsford’s article, “Our Semi-Literate Youth? Not So Fast,” she and her research team prove that, when used wisely, the internet is not harming students and enhancing their writing skills. In Nicholas Carr's article, “Hal And Me,” he writes through personal and second hand experiences about how the internet is reducing people's ability to absorb information. Many people have different opinions on technology. The ongoing debate is whether or not the internet is affecting people, mostly the younger generations, in a bad way or in a good way.

In the past, kids were required to look through books and magazines for the information they needed for assignments, or just for information in general without a lot of distractions. Now technology has brought in a whole new way of gaining new information. It has made the world just a click away, but with some added consequences. While it might seem that the internet has made things a lot easier on today’s generation, it has stunted brain development and made it very difficult for someone to concentrate for long periods of time. Is the internet really helping us or is it causing more problems than it is solving issues?

My cousin's wife Irina Olaru has a positive attitude about the internet use of their children, a girl of four years, and a boy of two and half years. Irina graduated Bethel University, in Minnesota, four years ago. She said to me that their children use a laptop and cellphones every day. Asking her how much time daily their children spend in front of a laptop or cell phone, she said more than two hours every day, which confirms above statistical data. Asking her what attitude they have, as parents about the computer use of their children at such young age, she explained that the internet gives many opportunities of learning and developing for their children. They do not want to ban computer use because they need a time when their children

A new epidemic has fallen over America and is spreading like wild fire across the states as more and more fall victim to its claws. That epidemic is known as internet addiction which many of today’s youths are prone to due to the widespread usage of technology. Excessive use of the internet has proven hazardous to the generation because it decreases cognitive ability, impairs social development, and increases health problems. Since the current American society relies heavily on technology and web searches through google, the internet has become a necessary essential and making addiction almost inevitable.

“Internet, mobility, and multimedia are important technology tools that are used in education industry” (Hameed 372).Although the internet is an important tool in the classroom and out, it does have downsides. Websites have become more commercialized, and this has made searching through websites difficult since not all websites are reliable. In the Journal done by Shihab Hameed he says that statistics show that teenagers use the internet more than adults, they use the internet to play games, listen to music and meet new people. Hameed also mentions that it reduces student activity. Students are able to get solutions to homework and as result

When surfing the web do you ever stop and think of the possibilities you have at your fingertips? Using the internet every day is a luxury we have, we could research things that we've never even thought about. Having a way to get Internet at all times is a very important for this generation. There might be some people complaining that their kids spend too much time alone in the internet and they get antisocial, but in my opinion, the internet is one of the most important tools for a teenager today.

Teenagers use this technology as a way to escape daily challenges as well as unwanted emotional problems, while constantly looking for excuses to not leave it alone. I believe that it takes determination and self-introspection to realize how much technology is taking over an individual life. In order to have a healthy life, balance is of essence and this is how computer use can be managed. According to the FCD Prevention Works, an international nonprofit provider of prevention for substance abuse, on the Hazelden Betty Ford foundation website, “once teenagers find something they are good at and want to do, they will naturally gravitate toward it. It is easier to create an Internet façade, but far more rewarding for teens to cultivate true purposes and genuine identities within their families, schools, and communities.” I believe this method can be effective when an individual finds their niche, their passionate drive and implements valuable time into it, rather than going on their phone. Addiotionally, with the support of family members anyone can minimize their use due to the constant supervision they are receiving. Technological usage can be a negative epidemic, but with the help of the individual’s environment it can solely be merged with

The easy access to information and communication is changing a lot in the way we live our lives. For example, libraries now need to have internet and computers, books need to be adapted to an online version to keep up with the market. The internet and technology are a gift science gave us and like everything it has its benefits as well as dangers. If adults learn and teach to future generations proper use of the internet such effect may not be as large as it is right now. The online world can be seen as an extension of the adult world, and children having access to it may be dangerous. It is possible to find anything on the internet if you know how to look for it. This applies to anything good or bad, therefore, teaching correct use of this source is crucial for a proper society and child

The internet potentially has everything which creates loop holes and short cuts to almost everything. Every year people are becoming more and more lethargic due to the internet and how fast and easy it is to get access to. Technology has created a new way of thinking and a new generation of lazy and irresponsible children. Of course it does have its pros but people need to learn how to moderately use and not use it for cheating, distracting, or any negative

For most children and teenagers, are open to the Internet. People have different opinions about it. Older adults grew up without electronics, but nowadays all kids have electronics. Depending on which electronics the kids have, it changes how the kids learn. If it’s a smart calculator or if it is just a game.
