My classmate Jennifer stated that “today, the vast majority of the world’s intelligence is a keystroke away. While this technology has been beneficial, it has also introduced us to new problems, such as cyber bullying, and game addictions. I believe social networking affects literally every area of our lives in one way or another.”

I agree with Jennifer’s statement. I think that everything has two sides, positive and negative. For example, the internet has many benefits, such as saving our time, providing us with necessary information, being a communicating tool and providing us with convenience. However, it has some negative sides, such as social media addiction, limited thinking, laziness, game addiction and bullying. It is difficult to imagine ourselves without the internet, but we need some time to look at ourselves without being distracted by the internet. I think that living without TV, cell phone, computer and internet for a few days may help us to think deeply and to look at ourselves differently.
