• why today’s teenagers use the Internet so much
• how the Internet makes long-distance communication easier
• what dangers teenagers can face when they use the Internet

More and more people nowadays can not imagine their lives without Internet. We use the Internet for entertainment and and at work. My strong belief is that a person can not be successful without Internet nowadays as many business negotiations are held via  it – sending emails, taking part in video conferences, webinars.

Moreover, chat rooms on different sites are becoming more and more popular. It is exciting for  teens  as they are eager to find new friends or acquaintances.

Noone would deny the fact that the Internet has become a vital part of every human  life. But I would say that this invention has both  - advantages and disadvantages.

 Among positive aspects of the Internet I can name the following: an access to any kind of information – E-books, articles on different topics, video and music files etc. And all these things are free! People can do many things with the help of the Internet – purchase goods from all over the Globe, pay bills, make video calls and talk to friends and relatives whom they can’t see very often, chat on different social networking sites like Twitter, vk, Facebook, make virtual trips to other countries. The Internet shortens the distances!

 On the other hand, the Internet has its disadvantages- it steals our time and we can easily become addicted to the virtual world, checking our internet profiles daily As a result , people loose real –life friends, they are involved into another world. Unfortunately, teenagers can face some dangers when they use the Internet. (It is not as safe as we wish it were). There are some criminals who can get your private information and use in in criminal aims. Secondly, most of  teenagers  become Internet addicts they spend all their free time playing computer games. Moreover, their eyesight gets worse and less and less teenagers do regular sport.

Taking everything into consideration, I should say that the Internet has both advantages and disadvantages that’s why people should use it wisely.

That’s all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening.
