The Internet is something very interesting, over the years to become a fundamental tool for humanity, at home or at work, it helps us a lot in addition to entertain us. This is a luxury that a few years ago was not for anyone, now it is rare who does not have Internet, I remember that the first computers in the house did not have Internet so it was only used to play (in my case) or just to work , writing documents or taking statistics.
As time passed more and more people had this service at home and it was a relief for many, since they should not go to the cyber, if not they had this tool in the house. At first I could only search for tasks and talk by messenger, since by then I had no facebook and there was no youtube. It really was more boring for a child, since it did not contribute anything other than a search, for which he preferred play or go out to play.
This is how the Internet came to my life, it was always used as a tool to facilitate many things at home, but that is in my case, nowadays the Internet is used for no number of crimes and what worries me even more, the next generation, this 2000 that grew with the Internet and computers, if we do not take action on the matter will go from being a tool to a nightmare. For this reason I decided to make this post, where I will reflect according to what I have experienced the good and the bad of the Internet and I hope that many of us will become aware of this, in order to help the formation of a richer society.
The good!
The Internet facilitates many things of our day to day, one of the best things that it has is communication, thanks to this we can make video calls, send text messages, emails and stop counting. The truth that in that sense and coupled with this the emergence of social networks, was a boom in the 21st century.
Another thing to take into account is information, through the Internet it is very difficult for us to escape data or research, since everything is uploaded to the network and with the simple objective that people read it, to produce a feedback of information, since many people read and contribute.
The entertainment this depends on everyone, at least I can be one day watching music videos, physiotherapeutic or even, see me one or two movies a day. In addition to being on social networks such as Instagram, Facebook, tumblr, Twitter, WhatsApp, among others. There will be people who spend their time playing and so, everyone with whatever they want to do.
Even the Internet has become a very large source of employment, people who do not get jobs in agencies, can enter platforms where they compete for work or directly work on other things. Really with the arrival of the Internet to homes an extraordinary world opened up, that is, if it were not for the many of us we would not be where we are.
The bad?
This is the part where I worry, and I do not know if it is because of having an 8-year-old niece, but I feel that many of us should pay attention to this, since it may be too late. We know that in the world nothing is perfect, and that in this case the Internet is not, just as it is a tool that facilitates and in many cases does, it also undoes and this is because who uses it is us, human beings.
I will go in parts, first I will begin how it can affect us and then go down to the smallest of the house. Well first of all we have the automations of the Internet, it is very easy to do everything, for which certain mental abilities are not put into practice, it is good if a tool is invented to use it, but abusing it can lead to disabling us.
Just as it serves as a great recreator, it also becomes a great distractor which is more and more guilty of deaths throughout the world than many other tragedies. Therefore everything must be used to its proper measure, always combine an exit or a moment of free recreation of technology is good for anyone, it's like when the light goes out in my house, I discover some interesting people who say they live with me (My family).
Let's take care of our little ones!
Children are sponges, they learn by seeing and then imitating behaviors or behaviors that is why it is said that "children are the living example of their parents." This generation is growing with smart phones, computers and a number of social networks that for us do not represent any apparent danger, but when it comes to the little ones in the house another rooster sings.
We neglect the upbringing, we let the new generations grow up watching youtubers or simply stuck to a computer, they become reflections of people that we do not know and that in many occasions do not contribute anything productive to their lives. As I said before, they imitate behaviors that want to be that person they see on the computer, which does not have any social responsibility when it comes to expressing or touching sensitive topics for children. This is one of the problems I see today of this era, if it is a tool that could help us a lot and if it is taken advantage of in the best way to enhance our abilities or abilities for something specific.
A few days ago I saw a couple of documentaries, in which they talked about "the blue whale" and "pedophilia", as today many children and adolescents are exposed to all this, and it is up to us to prevent them from falling this kind of things. This couple of topics will expand more in other posts, I hope they take many of the things I speak here in consideration and that they have liked, I have to take care of my niece of this kind of things, to have a small fence should only pay attention to what he sees and guide them.
