Question

the impact of Internet on the youth

Answer 1

The internet thus creates new ways for individuals to communicate, congregate and share information of their social life .It is obvious that the internet has and will continue to change the way we live. How it has changed the way we live, and will continue to change our lives , is the reason for so many evolving discourse. The internet therefore has changed the field of education, health and business and even politics in the world. We can thus recognize the fact that the internet ,expands social , political and economic activities of today’s peoples all over the world .However, internet has impacted our society in almost all areas of human endeavours, especially in the field of education, students can get access to areas of their interest and most importantly, people today can study online with the emergence of internet .This is why I suggest that government at all levels should introduce computer and internet study from the elementary schools for our youngest ones to be computer literate , because I noticed that most undergraduate students are computer literate in our universities today. Similarly, internet has proven to be a double edge sword for education. Teachers and students benefit immensely from the unprecedented access to information the internet provides, as well as the ability to share knowledge across the globe. These millions of books, journals and other useful materials of learning are available on internet .However  , the use of internet ,as important  as it is to knowledge and education ,has many negative effects on people , especially our youths. This is obvious in view of how much time and resources people spend hours playing online games, pornographic videos .A child or student who spends more time on the internet more than he or she pays attention to studying will definitely fail in his educational or academic pursuit.
