Do you agree that the internet is very powerful? Me, I agree! Do you know why? The internet affects us in a good or bad way depending on how we use it.

Do you know that very simple things like ordering pizza online is a bad way? Some become dependent because of the internet. Instead of walking to the grocery store, they order their groceries online. Using apps like Lazada, Zalora, E-bay, Souq, Amazon and more to shop means we are using it in a bad way. Kids, teenagers, and even adults play online games that waste their time. Families don’t bond, Children ignore and disobey their parents, watch things that are not good and many more. Some even search answers for their problems. Can you relate? Do you know that a long long time ago. When the internet never existed everyone was very independent. They walk to stores to buy groceries, they walk to the pizza shop to buy pizza (if that existed at that time) and they shop at the mall! Can you believe that?!?! because of the internet, the world has been changed! Maybe a few generations from now when Internet and Technology have been fully developed people will no longer leave their homes. Do you want this to happen? It might happen anyway. Well, enough with the bad stuff, let’s move on to the good stuff.

Since there are so many bad effects, I hope you’ll be happy to see more 😇…………. just kidding. 🙌 sorry I just got carried away with some good news. Oh, wait I have one more joke, I told a friend not to fart in the Apple store for there are no Windows. Get it? , and I have one more, my dog Firefox had trouble with Windows
get it? OK, lets continue. Will you be happy if I told you the internet makes things easier? In the last paragraph I mentioned that shopping and ordering online is bad, it could be good too in a way that it lessens traffic and it is very convenient, speaking of convenient, Do you have a parent or a family member working abroad that you really miss and want to communicate with him/her? If you do then problem solved! you can chat with them online through Messenger, Imessage, Line, Viber, Skype and many more instead of wasting money to send them letters every week, but if you are more comfortable that way, who am I to judge? there are more good effects but I can only name a few. I guess now you know that the internet is not only very powerful but also very dangerous . Be careful in handling it! Good luck! 😊😊😊
