People in this generation all have something in common. They have that one thing they love. And that is the internet. The rapid growth of the internet led people into a black hole. And there’s no way out. Once you’re in, you’re stuck in there. You find yourselves thinking about the internet most of the time or maybe all of the time. It’s an addiction. An internet addiction.

We really can’t help it. After all, we rely on the internet a lot and without it, we’re probably lost on a world full of complicated things. Internet made our lives easier. In just one click, you have what you wanted. No need to read million of books just to get that one information, in the internet, it is all in one click. No need to go through all the shops just to find that one certain dress you’re deeply in love with, there’s thing thing called online shopping. See? These are just a few of the things on what the internet can do. And trust me, there’s still a lot.

Even though the internet makes our lives easier, it is also the reason as to why we now neglect the things we used to do way before the internet. In the earlier years, where there are no sign of internet anywhere, we used to read books. To pass time and to be more knowledgeable. With the internet around, you can find a lot of useful facts and entertainment which are more enjoyable than reading in plain paper. Another thing are letters. Right now, the internet provides a faster communication level. Back then, we would send our letters via post and would wait a few more days before it arrives. At the current moment, you just have to wait for a second. Right now, only 1 out of 10 people would actually write and send the letters via post. It rarely happens nowadays that when we do receive one, we are actually overjoyed.

Internet has deeply affected our lives. As of now, its sole purpose is to make our complicated lives easier. Even though you can find yourselves out of this black hole, you will eventually find yourselves back to it again. It is that hard to avoid. Well, its not even possible to avoid it. Cause wherever you go, somehow things would entangle themselves in the internet. Going in to your favorite shop and then finding out they have a website which you can order online, that is easier than to go out and buy that one dress. Meeting people outside and then they would tell you to go to this website to know more info. See? Internet has this invisible line and it is connected to everybody and you cannot cut it and even though we are given the chance to cut it, we won’t. Let’s face it. We love the internet.
