Impact of Internet

The impact of internet 

The internet has become a significant source in the world and our daily life. It has positive as well as negative influences on our life and alters our world views. Although it might be an essential necessity, it can lead to extreme issues and cause terrible outcomes. Internet definitely changed my perspective of certain aspects and I tend to depend on it many times. For instance, if there is any research project, instead of going to the library to find and read books, I will search on the internet, especially Google, and search for sources. Although the information it provides are not as reliable as the books give, it is much more convenient and saves up a lot of time. Wikipedia, Yahoo answers, Wiki answers etc. are considered to be ineffective sources, but myriad of people employ them and rely on the information given. Also, internet has caused many people to be lazy. Instead of going to the movie theatre, many people are downloading the movies either legally or illegally and watching it through their computer or TV. It has affected many of the children, distracting them in studies, increasing the number of kids with obesity and wasting their time. Due to the internet, my habits have changed and it has affected my lifestyle.
