Children on the net:yes or no?
The internet is a great learning tool for children, but what about the problems and dangers if children are allowed to surf the Net on their own? The net is part of our world, so children need to use it. The internet offers thousands of information from every life domain.
Using the Internet offers many advantages. For example, children learn about other countries and cultures. They can learn about their habits, language and how they spend their free time. Children can also see beautiful pictures of people and landscapes. They also can develop personal interests, hobbies and meet people from all over the world. Children can communicate with people from the other countries, even when they are thousands of kilometers away. E-mail messages are a popular way of communication for people in schools or between friends.
On the other hand, the Internet has several disadvantages. Firstly, Some web sites are not suitable for children. As for Internet friendships, sitting at home in front of a computer making 'chat friends' is not the same as actually meeting people.
The internet offers many advantages, but children should be supervised when they're using it, and parents must teach them how to use it properly.
