Some people say you can learn almost everything from the Internet nowadays. What do you think?
In the last few years, there has been an incredible advance in technology. You can do almost everything with a mobile phone or a computer. That's why nowadays people are dependent on the Internet. We use it for the most simple things, such as learn how to cook. Even if you don't know how to get somewhere, your phone will show you the way.
Consequently, many parents think that there's no need to always be looking after their children anymore. They believe they can spend their free time in some educational website, instead of being with them or letting them to take up a new guided activity with real teachers. In this way, traditional education can't be compared to a fake one made of interactive games. What's more, they might come across some inadequate content!
Furthermore, most of the information set on the Internet has been uploaded by common people. We don't have any security that what they say is a certain fact, so we shouldn't trust them so easily. Maybe they just made it up!
Finally, despite all the great thing the Internet offers us, we shouldn't be obsessed looking everything up there, as it doesn't give you the chance to discuss the information face to face. Otherwise, we'll end up losing our ability to socialize!

The Internet isn't so bad. Yes, it contains enough of bad stuff. On the other hand, it contains a lot of useful stuff. And we can't get by witout a such convenient thing as the Internet nowadays. And sometimes it can bring us some problems like Internet addiction or something like that.
But we shouldn't refuse the Internet, I think. So, what should we do? We should learn how to control our obsession of the Internet. We should help other people, e.g. our friends or family, to overcome the obsession. The second thing we can do is learning how to filter large amounts of information. I believe that these two skills are fair enough to use the Internet wisely.
All in our hands! And if you see a problem, help others at least to open their eyes! This is exactly what I've seen in this article. Nice thinking in the right way!
Best wishes! :)
