In this article, it talks about the dangers of the Internet, and the benefits. Some people use the Internet for a business promoter, a friend finder and to keep in touch with people they wouldn't be able to, otherwise. But others, teenagers mostly, are using it for cyber-bullying and other inappropriate uses. Some people think that stuff like a girl's suicide because of cyber-bullying would have happened without the temptation of Internet, and we all just need to keep ourselves in check.
People use the Internet as a distraction from their day-to-day lives, but sometimes we all need an escape from that escape. People will get away from town a few days and turn off their cell phones, black berries, and leave their laptops at home, just spending time with the family and communicating effectively. The sudden boost of technology our world has gotten is an overload, in my opinion.
While I love texting friends and I love being able to look at people's pictures on Facebook or their profiles on Myspace, we all need to take a break every once in a while. If everyone thought about the amount of time they're on the computer, a lot more could be done, and a lot less bad could happen. If people weren't so concerned about what others think, that girl probably would have laughed off the cyber-bullying and still be alive today. Being less attached could benefit us all.
