Essay "Advantages of the Internet"

Recent technological progress, especially in sphere of communications, drastically changed our world. The greatest and most important invention that revolutionized the way we interact is the internet. It is hard to argue against significance of its influence on our society, yet some people think that the possibility of stealing personal data outweighs the benefits of the internet. But I believe that it’s hardly true and in this essay I will explain why.

People have never been in such connection with each other in all of human history. The internet gives us opportunity to communicate with anyone who share the same interests regardless of distance, countries’ and languages’ borders and social classes. Twitter and Facebook became global arenas where you can share your point of view, ideas or just photos of animals in funny hats, but during Iranian elections in 2009 they became a really powerful and effective tool of democracy.

Now, due to the internet, everyone can get access to huge amount of information from anywhere and in any time. Everyone can read books from internet libraries, make interactive walks through cities in which they have never been or watch video lectures from universities they can’t afford. There has never been any moment in human history when information and education was so open and available to everyone without any segregation.

Also fast information exchange is especially important for businesses and stock markets. It creates possibility to respond fast on constantly changing situations and helps to make efficient and profitable companies, and it is very convenient for advertising and finding suppliers. Nowadays every business owner, be it a huge enterprise or just a small shop, can manage a company through just a phone on a way to work, or even from another country.

The internet is the most significant invention of modern era, it makes life easier, gives a huge amount of freedom and connects the world together. But even the most creative and beneficial instrument can be applied improperly, and only in our responsibility to continue using it for making our world a better place.

Should Parents Spend Their Time Playing Games or Studying With Their Children?

Most people who have children nowadays don't have enough time to spend with their children. Sometimes, they have to choose between having fun with their children or helping them with their homework. In my opinion, if they have no option to do a little bit of each, it is better to dedicate to studies help rather then having a fun time.
First, because when we are young we need to be taught the importance of focusing a portion of our day on studies at home. It is not just important to better observe the disciplines being taught at school, but even more relevant. When studying frequently accompanied with parents, children get used to study, and it becames easier and enjoyable. In my personal life, I have regretted that my parents had always opted for the momentous pleasure, choosing always when possible, to have fun with me, rather than study. For this reason, I had hard times when starting university. At this period of my life I had to learn alone that my pleasurable times should wait and that I must spent most of my time studying in order to finish graduation. If my parents had taught me the importance of studying while I was a child, my young adult life would have been much easier.
Second, during childhood, children have lots of friends, and there is no need that parents spend their time playing games with them. Although adults may want to play with their kids, they wouldn’t be able to play games for a long time with them, even if they try to. Child’s energy is incredible superior than adult’s, therefore, they must play games and have fun with other children, rather then their parents. Otherwise, they just won’t be satisfied with the effort made by their parents. During my childhood, I was lucky that I had many friends and cousins around my age. Yet, even with all the attention I had from parents playing with me, I still wanted to go out and play with other childrens.
In conclusion, parents' most important role is to prepare their children for the future. To do it they have to teach kids the importance of studying. None the less, the fun time with kids must be guaranteed ensuring that they are in the company of other youngers, with similar age, energy and time to waste.
