Internet to me is everything to type and tell them exactly what I think of them with out thinking it twice. Violation or not.

It hasnt, it makes it worse, it takes away the morale of life, the enjoyment and the freedom.

wait and see.

Answer 5

1. The internet could be useful to helping spending time family. If you are on the internet, you could look up good places to go out to eat, play (if your a kid like me), and do other activities with family. Also, if one of my family members find something interesting on the internet, it could be a good conversation.

2. To be honest, I do find myself *constantly* getting on the Internet...I mean, if I am SUPER bored, I get on.

3. It makes my life easier because if I need to do research on a project and the library is closed, I could look up stuff online.

4. No. For example, I love to read. I would never give up reading to be on the internet.

5. I don't know how to answer this one...mostly because I was born when internet was around. Before I had internet, I hated reading and was usually bored...

I have to admit that I wish the internet wasn't so addicting. I am trying to stop going on by making me go out more and convince myself to use the treadmill my dad bought for our family.

Answer 6

did it?

it makes it easier to communicate with beloved people that are far away, but is has disadvantages - you don't hear the undertones, you may misunderstand.

it's impersonal.

it steals your time.

I'm so often online at work, often I don't care to turn it on at home.

instead, I returned to write letters to some friends, and I have long calls with others. Or I just grab a book.

Answer 7

Just another more convenient way to access that which I need.
