Is the internet a posionous apple or sweet treat?

The internet has affected me both good and bad just like it probably affects others. I started using the internet when I was about ten or twelve but that was really only for games and msn messenger. I only found it entertaining for a half hour or an hour. I had other things going on like playing outside or not around a computer. Since I lived in the middle of nowhere in Iowa then moved to the middle of nowhere in Minnesota, we had dial up…for those who haven’t used it…you’re lucky! Anyways, the internet exploded by time I was in high school. Just like any teenager I jumped on the bandwagon of facebook. It was nice to be able to share pictures and keep in touch with a bunch of people. Now there is too many social networks and no more direct contact of talking. Even if you do talk to someone they are always on their phone not giving you their full attention. The internet is good for certain things like new ideas, recipes, sharing photos and information with family, and education. I also think internet and education is not so good because there is inaccurate information and some people don’t have access to internet. And internet on cell phones….Don’t get me started. It’s a nice pleasure to have at first but now it’s a pain in the ass. I have it on my phone, it comes in handy for google or maps and pinterest J but texting, tweeting, and facebooking does not need to be at your fingertips everyday. Some things are meant for you to know only not the world.
