Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? “Overall, the widespread use of the internet has a mostly positive effect on life in today’s world.” Use reasons and details to support your opinion.

Most everyone agrees that modern technology has dramatically affected society in numerous ways. In my view, using the

Internet

has become a necessity as it has a number of benefits on a daily basis. There are several reasons why I feel

this

way, which I will explore in the following essay.

To begin

with, the

Internet

helped normalize our society and life, which was destroyed because of COVID-19. The government required the public to stay at home and be quarantined from work and other activities in order to be able to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Many people lost their jobs and became depressed because of the lockdown. The

) helped minimize these problems. My personal experience is a compelling example of

this

. During the 4 month quarantine period, I was still able to work from home by advising patients, who were having dental problems, through communication channels

such

as Facebook, zalo, and Viber. Particularly, I

also

participated in a group including many doctors of different majors supporting the government in the fight against COVID-19. We took care of the patients having some light symptoms by guiding them on how to take medicine, and how to take care of themselves for better resistance. These issues were solved through Zalo, a popular medium in my country. If the

Internet

were developed

this

much, it would be impossible to work from home.

On the other hand

, the broad use of the

Internet

makes it possible for everyone to keep in touch with each other. Nowadays, society has many platforms where they

with their families and friends. In the past, when someone’s relative had to emigrate, most of them wrote letters or internationally called, which was very expensive. The letters took a long time to reach their destination. Now it is easier for people, they can call, and message from any place to their countries, families and friends.

For instance

, my husband and his family emigrated to America about 4 years ago and I still live in Vietnam at present. Because the time zones of the two countries are different, I use the

Internet

all the time in order to be able to talk to him whenever I or he is free. We can chat, call via video and see each other through a small screen and

this

makes the geographical distance between two countries no longer a big problem for us. It’s important to me to talk with him every day and feel close to me. In conclusion, the

Internet

is an essential technology in life, which promotes a better way of living. The

Internet

is massively important as it leads to easier communication and helps us to live conveniently.
