Students are becoming more and more reliant on the Internet. While the Internet is convenient it has many negative effects and its use for educational purposes should be restricted. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

With the advancement of technology, methods of attaining the

knowledge

have changed over the period. Nowadays,

students

are highly dependent on the

internet

for their studies.

However

, excessive usage of the

internet

might have detrimental impacts on children, but the positive effects of the

internet

on educational purposes can not be neglected. On the one hand, over usage of the

internet

can cause screen addiction and physical problems among children.

This

is because youngsters will do unnecessarily surfing on webpages for a long time period.

This

advocacy can lead to addiction as well as health problems like obesity, blood pressure, diabetics and many more.

For example

, it should be noted that research held by

45% of young adults in 2019 was suffering from screen addiction, which directly impacts their health.

On the other hand

, there are numerous benefits of the

internet

in regards to education.

First

of all,

students

can boost their

knowledge

and enhance their skills or abilities while watching videos, lectures, practicals and experiments of well-known professors.

For instance

, with

internet

assistance, a teenager living in India, sitting on his bed, can learn from the Howard University teachers.

Secondly

, when everyone was locked in the pandemic at that time the

internet

acts as a bridge between school teachers and

students

to complete their curriculum.

Therefore

, restricting the

internet

for educational purposes will dramatically halt the student's

knowledge

at a certain limit. To conclude, the

internet

has negative effects, but I believe that advantages

such

as the opportunity of proliferating the

knowledge

and creating a connection between school and

students

outweigh them.
