Off late, there has been a lot of complains about internet from some concerned parents. There kids, who are of age 13 or 14, spend a lot of time on internet and thus are distracted from studies. Also, they watch adult sites which spoils them. So do you think internet is having negative impacts all kids?

Its true dat der r complaints regarding the misuse of the internet by small kids.Definitely kids surfing adult webs hv negative impacts on their minds.In order to control this the only measure is to block the porm webs from child's access.Use certain softwares dat wud automatically block these websites.Keeping kids away from the internet isnt an ultimate solution as internet is the most important part of every individuals life.Instead of keeping kids away from net try not to make them access these adult sites dat wud degrade their academic performance n distract them mentally.

If we think of the negative effect for the kitchen knife, that it could possibly used my murderer to kill human, should we ban the production of knife or any sharp object? I think everybody will give answer for no or not necessarily. OR for motor vehicles as well, accident is not the answer for us to close down the mass production of all type of vehicles. Same thing happen to internet facility in todays world. The only positive steps are; to enhance the level of security zone, monitoring/surveillance system and take control tools on the internet application. Don't throw the comb due to hair loses.

I personally believe that there is a negative impact for this kids frequently using the inetrnet but it really depends on them if they use it for studies or just for games or other stuff that would distract them from their studies.
