HAS THE INTERNET DONE MORE HARM THAN GOOD?

I disagree that the internet has done more harm than good, but more good. . The internets not only help students but also adults, children and even old folks. However we should not grant it uncontrollable power our lives, for while, if the internet can be interesting and helpful, there is no doubt that it does have several unwelcome aspects as well which we should consider. As technology improves and as the world move on, the internet will become an integral part of our lives and we will not be able to ignore it.

Internet, say its admirers is very useful and educational, and they point to many website such as “wikipedia.com” and “ask.com”. These websites let students able to study and do research. The internet to businessmen and adults are very important as it is use for communication. You can instantaneously transmit something from opposite sides of the world and for some businessmen, the business is on the internet itself, it help to raise the economy such as ‘ebay’ which you are able to sell and buy things on the internet. The best thing is that everyone can access the internet.

Some might argue that internet has done more harm than good. The internet is not a suitable place for young children. This is basically because of threats of pop-ups, pornography and scams that can trick the child. The internet is not only a bad place for children but also to teenagers. They use it to do illegal things, they use it for sexual abuse, and the children who are addicted to internet games can no longer study their lessons but play internet games. Then those who has graduated from college does not want to find jobs because they rather want to play internet games such as ‘DotA’, ‘Maple Story’ and other internet games.

In conclusion, the internet is like a tool, by itself is not harmful; it's how we use the internet that makes it harmful. I disagree that internet does more harm than good and wish to say that the internet does have several effect that are detrimental to our well-being. However, we can choose to be in control of what we wish to see or do by asking for greater censorship of websites or by switching off the computer! (383 WORDS)

Something Interesting That Happen During The Holiday

During the holiday, I want to Australia. It’s been a long time since I went there. If I could I remember correctly. I was only five years old. The main event was not the sightseeing and visiting of places. Instead, we are supposed to attend my cousin’s wedding. I was very excited about it as I have not been to a western wedding. Usually we have a Chinese wedding which may varies from a five course meal or more. From what I was told, we are having only a three course meal. Before the trip, I had a rough idea what the wedding might be as seen on the television.

It was the wedding day, it was a long drive to “Blue Mountains” where the ceremony is held. After that we took a tram ride down the mountains, it was like a min rollercoaster. We took a nice long but scenic trail where the ceremony is held. After the ceremony, it was to have dinner. It’s no ordinary dining area like how Chinese wedding dinner is held; the tables are on a revolving floor and the VIP are seating at a corner so everyone has a chance to converse with the bride( cousin) and groom. The dishes weren’t very nice. Maybe because we are too used to the Chinese dishes like cold dish for appetizer Shark’s Fin soup for the second dish and so on. The wedding was very fun and it’s almost like a party. it was a holiday I never forget .

It ended very late at 2am in the morning (Australia time). We had to squeeze into a small car and the journey home was terrible and there were no air conditioner. To make things worst it was raining so we are not able to open the windows. It took us two hours to reach the hotel. It was a wonderful wedding.
