Is the Internet good or bad?

The Internet is something so huge, powerful and meaningless that for some it has become an ideal substitute for life.
Andrew Brown

In all my life, I never thought about whether the Internet is bad or good. Yes, I did not see any of my friends or acquaintances start a conversation on this topic. Strange .. It seems to me that this is a promise to alarm. We are so accustomed to, he entered into our lives so much that we do it unconsciously, as if automatically. Of course, it would look a little silly, waking up, we do not think “now I will take the phone and instead of coming on time I will spend 20 minutes flipping through the tape”. More often, we simply deceive ourselves with the phrase “5 more minutes and go to teach,” although we remember very well how last time I spent the whole evening like “5 minutes” without doing anything. Self-deception occurs in communication in social networks. People, especially adolescents, think that they have many friends that support them. They are surrounded by illusions. It is rooted in the wrong. We should appreciate live chat. We do not want to be like the heroine of Vishnevsky “Loneliness in the network.” Lonely and unhappy. How she correctly noticed: “The Internet, it does not bring together. This is a cluster of loneliness. We seem to be together, but every one. The illusion of communication, the illusion of friendship, the illusion of life … “

But if you rationally use your time on the Internet, set priorities, then you can spend time with benefit, self-developing. After all, now there are so many resources, websites, trainings, electronic manuals, allowing to get new skills while being at home in a comfortable sofa.

Take your will into a fist and stop “hanging out” on the Internet without any need, direct your energy in the right direction and then you will become much closer to the goal.
