The Internet has dramatically altered our lives over the past few decades. Although some of these changes have been negative, the overall effect of this technology has been positive. What are your opinions on this?

Over the past few decades, the usage of the

internet

has been increased since the revolution in information technology begin.

This

has changed the way people use to live in past compared to the present. The effect of

such

technology has been in the favour of the public,

however

, the other side cannot be ignored.

This

essay discusses the negative effects and will justify my opinion.

To begin

with, ever since the advancements in the

internet

field, it has influenced the lives of society. They spent most of their time on the

internet

, having conversations with their online friends. Many applications and social platforms are created across the globe which helps to connect with their friends, family members, and the person they admire.

For example

, the general public talks to others through Whatsapp, Instagram, and Facebook and they do not socialize in person. They communicate through these platforms and eventually lose the actual form of talking by face to face.

Secondly

, using more and more

internet

has caused addiction toward the usage of it. Children spent most of the time on the

internet

either watching movies through over-the-top services or listening to music or viewing videos on youtube. They

also

get additive to online games,

for example

, PUBG, candy crush, and many other

internet

games were the most popular among the users. They spent hours and hours on

such

virtual things which overshadowed their other life interest and daily activities.

In addition

to

this

, people with

internet

addiction lose their cognitive skills like the ability to read, slow information process, analytical thinking, and decreased sustained attention. To conclude, the positive outcome of

this

technology has been helping communities in many ways, but the negative effects

such

as losing social skills and being addicted to the

internet

cannot be cornered.
