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. To what extent do you agree with this statement?

The advent of the

internet

is the revolutionary advancement of the 21st century. Even though it is a boon for the public yet it is a major concern these days as the majority of the pupil are relying on the

internet

these days. On the flip side, unsupervised usage of the

internet

by the students can lead to major problems. I agree with the given statement as there many disadvantages of its unregulated usage, which

will share in the upcoming paragraphs. To commence with, there is a vast amount of anonymous content online and most of it is accessible by all ages groups.

Consequently

, immature minds of school going kids can be easily affected by

this

type of unauthorized content, which shouldn't be seen by these young children. Owing to

this

fact, it can lead to cybercrimes

such

as cyberbullying etcetera.

For instance

, according to the recent report by 'THE TIMES' has shown that 70% of the cybercrime rate in 2020 occurred due to the inappropriate use of the

internet

by undergraduate or school going students and it has surged the crimes by 15 % in the span of one year only.

Therefore

, misusage of the

internet

is more in trend in youngsters than its actual use nowadays.

Moreover

, earlier kids used to spend their leisure

time

on extra-curriculum activities like painting, drawing , dancing, outdoor games and many others.

However

, now, they are wasting all of their

time

on their mobile phones playing video games, chatting online, making reels on social media and not connecting with anyone in real life.

Thus

, they are lacking in developing their inherent skills and

also

lacking interpersonal skills as well, which are crucial in life to excel.

illustrate, research by 'THE OXFORD UNIVERSITY' demonstrated that children who spend more

time

on the

internet

during their whole day are less likely to develop good cognitive skills as compared to the kids who are indulged in other activities. In view of the fact that

time

is of utmost importance especially during the growth of the youth, it shouldn't be wasted on pointless things like chatting all day online. To conclude, Without a doubt, the

internet

is the most sensational invention of

this

modern era still it should be used under supervision by the students. So, that they use the

internet

only for their educational advantages

instead

of getting into the wrong path and wasting their significant

time
