«Do you think slowing down the Internet would increase or decrease stress?» Modern life is impossible to imagine without the Internet. Over the past 15-20 years, the world has seen a great leap in the development of technology. Almost every person has mobile phones and computers. Internet works on all devices. Thanks to the Internet, people can find the information they need. For example, read special literature, check the weather, to buy a train ticket, clothes, food and more. Now even a simple man from the village can write a letter to the reception of the President. This is a huge breakthrough! When the Internet first appeared on phones, laptops, it worked very slowly. But, people were happy that option. Because they didn't have Internet before. As the saying goes: « getting used to good things quickly» As the years passed, the Internet developed, the connection speed grew. Now, in a few seconds a person finds the necessary information, communicates with other people, leads a virtual social life on the Internet. Let's try to imagine what will happen if one day the Internet starts to run very slowly? I'm imagining a very scary picture. People have frustrated plans they have no time to negotiate with partners, cancel transactions. Stop working online stores, there is a failure in all organizations, hospitals, banks, airports and other places where computers work. This will cause enormous stress to the entire population. Currently, most companies work with the Internet. Let's try to look at this situation from the other side. I think many people return to real life. They will stop communicating on the Internet, they will look for meetings with friends in their real life. They will pay more attention and effort to their families. People will move more! They will not sit in front of the monitor screen. But they will go to the library, go to shops, cinemas, etc. I want to sum up my thoughts. People are often stressed. Few people know how to relax, just disconnect from any information and give yourself a rest. Slowing down the Internet will cause stress, but after a while it can lead to people having more rest, relax and enjoy real life.
