Nowadays Internet is set to be the greatest invention of humanity. Most people use Internet to communicate with people from all over the world, to search for information or to work. Still, there are those who consider Internet very addictive.
To my mind, Internet can really make people forget about time and neglect their duties. Firstly, many people use Internet to chat via social networks and lose much time talking about odds and ends. Secondly, Internet is attractive because it offers many different interesting videos and articles and people get interested forgetting about everything. Finally, the greatest time-waster is on-line games. As the game can not be saved and stopped before you get the next level, you have to continue playing.
However, some people will definitely say that the situation is not like that. As busy people orginize their time carefully, they look up only important things in the Internet. Besides, if you know exactly what you want to find, it will not take much time.
Nevertheless, I cannot agree with these statements. I think some people are so addicted that they chat or continue playing games even during important conferences or meetings. Moreover, usually you have to look through many useless advertisements, biased articles before you get the information you need.
To conclude, I can say that Internet is a really useful thing, but sometimes it is so addictive that it feels frightening. Anyaway, we need to learn how to use it in a right way taking into a count all it's disadvantages.
