Нужно проверить текст проэкта, поправьте ошибки, их вроде и не так много. the influence of the internet. bad or good? everybody knows that getting information is one of daily necessities of a human being. we can learn much about the world by reading newspapers and magazines, listening to the radio and by watching tv. so the people can't do without mass media — press, radio, television, and of course, the internet. so as winston churchill said knowledge is power. that’s why, i would like to speak about influence of internet in our life. bad or good? internet is one of the most important kind of mass media it takes 16% of mass media. spam, lies, deceitfulness, and identity theft are all bad influences of the internet. also, scores of vicious cyber-terrorists hack the government and civilian computers on the internet in order to satisfy their own greedy needs. it’s not just hackers who have bad influences though. innocent people such as teenagers have bad influences as well. some will prove that the internet separates the young people from the real world. sure they have access to news and all, but the internet doesn’t help the youngsters with their social skills. nowadays, people tend to interact with their friends primarily online (facebook, twitter, msn, myspace, etc.) they are all friendly and nice on their facebook chat, but when they meet each other in the hallway of their school, they don’t do anything more than saying, “hi.” teenagers can lose feeling of real life relationships and have difficulty communicating in reality. there are more and more people became captivated by its hypnotic power and use it not on purpose. so for example 53% of teenagers visit social networks several hours a day, 15% visit them in all their free time, 26% visit social networks several times a week and only 6% never visit social networks. the primary danger of social networks is that it distracts our attention from reality and solving real life problems. another problem is that people become addicted to social networks. many people can’t imagine your life without them. they have become much less read and talk in real life. all their free time they spend in social networks. little by little internet cuts us from the real world and we must understand that there are many other life values. however, there is a bright side to using the internet. students use the net simply for schoolwork, education, online shopping. the internet has made it easy to spread new ideas, hence putting globalization in effect. also, the web has made it easier for kind-hearted computer geeks to access and fix other people’s computers from a remote location. lastly, people use the internet to communicate with their friends, family, and relatives. communication software such as skype, facetime, and ichat has made it possible for parents to see their children who are off in college, or for a teenager to see his life-long friend who’s on the other side of the planet. as you can see, the amount of bad influences is about the same as the amount of good influences. you can also look at it this way: the amount of bad influences does not outweigh the amount of good influences. for those who are pessimistic, please notice that there are good things in this world. the world does not have to be a sad dark place. for those who are optimistic, please accept the fact that there are some bad things in this world. this world was once perfect but men have corrupted it, so it’s bound to have good things as well as bad things. so in conclusion, is the influence of the internet good? it’s both good and bad. the answer to this question cannot be one solid “yes” or “no”. there are bad influences as well as good influences, but one does not outweigh the other. humans created the world wide web to connect people and to put it to use so that others can benefit. what do we do now with this new-found knowledge? well, we can try to be good people and help others enjoy the web, instead of letting them be repelled by it. we can also strive to use the internet for good purposes instead of bad purposes.
