Internet appeared not so long ago, but now we can’t imagine our life without it. It has entered many spheres of our life and simplified it so much that we will refuse this invention under no circumstances.

We use the internet in many ways: we communicate with people, even with those who live abroad; we share our knowledge, emotions, feelings and experience by means of blogging or microblogging; we find any information in less than a minute; plan our trips, book flight tickets, and hotels; purchase clothes and other items, too.

In other words, we have a wide range of online activities which help us to get in touch with people, learn something new every day and be aware of all happening in the world. We have got used to this level of information accessibility due to which we feel more confident and free to express our viewpoint.

However, the internet is not always a blessing as we become extremely addicted to it and may lose our communication skills. The fact is that we now tend to get stick to our smartphones and other electronic devices and neglect real communication.

This may lead to loneliness and difficulties building real relationships with people. That’s why we should control the amount of time we spend online and not to forget about our families and friends. We won’t become closer if we keep in touch only virtually.

The internet can be a blessing, but we should use it carefully in order not to turn the blessing into a curse.

Перевод:

Интернет появился не так давно, но сейчас мы не можем представить нашу жизнь без него. Он стал частью многих сфер нашей жизни и упростил ее так сильно, что мы ни за какие деньги не откажемся от этого изобретения.

Мы используем интернет по-разному: мы общаемся с людьми, даже с теми, что живут за границей; делимся знаниями, эмоциями, чувствами и опытом с блогов и микроблогов; мы находим любую информацию меньше чем за минуту, планируем поездки, бронируем билеты на самолет и отели, покупаем одежду и другие товары тоже.

Иными словами, мы имеем широкий спектр онлайн деятельности, которая нам связываться с людьми, учиться чему-то новому каждый день и быть в курсе всего происходящего в мире. Мы привыкли к такому уровню доступности информации, из-за которой чувствуем себя увереннее и свободнее в выражении своей точки зрения.

Однако интернет – это не всегда хорошо, так как мы становимся очень зависимыми от него и можем потерять наши навыки общения. Дело в том, что мы сейчас склонны прилипать к своим смартфонам и другим электронным приборам и пренебрегаем живым общением.

Это может привести к одиночеству и сложностям в выстраивании отношений с людьми. Поэтому нам следует контролировать количество времени, проведенное в сети и не забывать о семье и друзьях. Мы не станем ближе друг к другу, поддерживая отношения лишь виртуально.

Интернет может выступать в качестве дара, но нам нужно осторожно использовать его, чтобы не превратить в проклятье.
