Internet has changed our life style drastically - for the better or worse ?...

I love the internet I am making a lot of money each months thanks to online activities and ebay.

Hi Kiran! We have become dependent and addicted to internet and our life revolves around browsing and surfing. We have PCs and devices like mobiles, i-phone and and smart phones and we get connected to various sites, even when we are on the move. We cannot think of life without internet because it has brought has closed to our friends and world in general. It has really affected our lifestyle and we enjoy more on mylot and Facebook rather than doing something else. This has cast a magic spell on us and we forget everything when we are surfing/browsing/emailing/chatting. We should keep in mind that excess of everything is bad.

hi Kiran madam, What ever you said is right madam,now we are addicted to the internet and we are loving the internet,we cannot live without the net a single day,now a days most of the businesses are operating due to the internet only,but the other side the internet may be used for games for children and some other sites to spoil the life of the people,but the decision is ours to be good or bad,have a nice day

I think that there are a lot of good things about the internet. It is easy to find information, but in my opinion the real advantage about the internet is the fact that we are able to talk to people from other parts of the world. Through the internet I have found friends from other countries and I know that I wouldn't have been able to talk to them if it hadn't been for the internet. As long as we don't neglect our offline life I think that the internet is a positive thing that has changed our life for the better. Unfortuneately some people get addicted to the internet and spend so much time online that they neglect their offline life. Sometimes the consequences are serious like the case where a couple didn't take care of their child because they were too buys online. It is scary when internet surfing gets out of control and people start spending every single minute in front of the computer, but I still think are there lots of positive things about the internet, and if we use it the right way we can learn a lot of new things.

hi kiran, lot of good things has opened up for me when i learned about the internet but there are things i miss because of it. before i use to watch the news as i get home and pet my dog. on weekends, i get to go out to the gym and workout. now i havent done that because from the office i have to go home and cook and eat and there is no time anymore for other things so i open the computer and try to earn. it is somewhat boring after a while. hahaha! but no regrets. am having fun too online. have a nice day. ann

Internet is basically one of the most influential part of the New Technology era. It is where almost everything, especially news, was broadcast and shared among all of us. Without any of this, it is going to be very difficult for us to know about the latest news, showbiz or non-showbiz or even our own family issues and news. There may be a lot of changes nowadays though. I can neither say that the internet is good nor bad. There are a lot of pros and cons for the setting up of the internet in our daily lives. It can be better because it improves communication especially long-distance ones. Other good benefits about the world wide web other than news and communication are for pleasure, for making money, for expressing thoughts and feelings, to search for things online especially questions or doubts and other things. However, the bad part of the net is that it can really affect our health. Eyes, hands and our back are the most affected areas. Eye strains, too much typing and backaches are just some of the examples. It can also affect our attitude and weight (if you are not too careful though). It is true that the lifestyle before was somehow a lot better health-wise. Knowledge-wise, I guess it would be these times. Overall, I guess lifestyle became worse for me. Sometimes, I really hate to go online.

I know what you mean, wen I was young, I went out to play without a cell phone tointerupt me. I had a black and white TV,I remember when we got a color TV, we only had cartoons on Saturday morning. Then PBS came along with Sesame Street, and Mr. Rogers. If you wanted to find something out, you went to the library. But I feel that things are easier now.

Hi kiran, yes our life style has totally changed by internet and computer. The whole world has come on a screen. Mangalore and Kolkata now is not far away. The world is close together by virtue of internet. But my one uncle who lives in other town is not satisfied with e mail or phone call. He says why don't you write letter. So the old men are not accustomed to internet or computer.

Hello Kiran, Every new thing which we adopt changed our life style. Before 30 years if you want to talk with any on phone out of your city than it was a very hard job. It was called trunk call. But now it is much easy you can talk in any part of world.Internet also change our life. But it is depend on how we use it. If you avoid your morning walk for internet than it is misuse of it. If our life is became easy with internet and mobile but these also have some side effects.

Internet do change our life in good way. But to me, i play too much computer and waste a lot of time on internet. Sometimes i know i was wasting my life but i just can't stand without it.

In terms of whether humanity is better with the internet than without it, I find humanity remains the same regardless of its technological achievements. Changing the tools with which mankind does their business has no real bearing on the overall human sociality. That said, I too believe the internet is a great tool for increasing access to information and that cannot be a bad thing. Can it be used for bad, sure. Is it an excuse to get lazier, yes. Unfortunately the lazy and the evil will always find their excuses, with or without the internet, the television, the telephone, the automobile, the steam engine, steel, iron, bronze or even fire.

I think the internet is very good for us! (it has some disadvantages, but more advantages, I think..) :)

I agree with you guys. Internet definitely changed our lives in both good and bad ways. It's a tool for almost everything we do. I think what matters is how we use and utilize this tool.
