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.

Some people argue that despite its convenience, the

internet

has had a bad impact and

consequently

, has to be regulated for educational purposes. As far as I am concerned, I agree with

this

point of view. In

this

essay, I will

first

give the side effects of

this

resource and

secondly

, I will give some solutions to cope with issues related to it.

To begin

with, the

internet

is the place in which many people with bad intentions proceed. It is universally acknowledged that

students

may encounter some issues while using it. According to an Australian survey, 35% of

students

have already experienced serious problems using the

internet

.

In addition

, it is commonly known that some information found on the web could be biased and even completely false. When I was a student, it occurred a couple of times that in

order

to write a report, I had to use some websites as resources. Unfortunately, without double-checking the information provided by them, I reported the wrong information. Though minor,

this

situation impacted the outcome of my report in a negative way. In

order

to cope with

this

issue, people in charge of the national educational program can make some meaningful decisions.

Firstly

, in

order

to solve the

first

issue and make sure that

students

can rely on the

internet

without facing any problems, leaders have the possibility to shut down the websites concerned.

Secondly

, in

order

to cope with the

second

issue, the individuals in charge of education can work cooperatively with schools and broader educational organisations in

order

to warn

students

about the misinformation on the

internet

. To sum up, I definitely agree with the fact that the

internet

should be restricted to protect

students

from dangerous criminals and misinformation.
