WEEK 8: Good or Bad?

	GOOD or BAD?

 

            “Everything which is too much is BAD” – I wanted to start this blog with that statement, I extremely agree with it, because I experienced it in myself either. Let’s see about this new media which is very dominant these days. A two or three year old toddler can now operate a computer and surf the internet with convenience, that sometimes without even knowing that they’re clicking some websites what’re not suitable for their very young age. Internet affects most of us, or should I say all of us.. because through this so called INTERNET which is considered as the new media delivers every bit of information that we need to know. Basically, as for myself, the effects of internet in my life is more on the positive things, because I usually use this media to conveniently strive on my daily living especially for my studies and communication with others. I started using the internet when I was grade 4 which I used it only for gaming purposes, but now that I’m on my teenage life, I usually use this as a learning tool for my personal needs. I’m searching on Google for my assignments and the things that I wanted to learn, also for YouTube, I often use that website for knowing the chords of the song I wanted to play on guitar, and then on Facebook, of course I use it for its multi purposes; entertainment, communication, and studies.

            I don’t have my permanent internet connection in my house so I don’t use it often but I use it only in times of needs. Because I still have to reload my modem to use it and sometimes I felt bad when I have to spend money for loading only, so I usually spent my whole day online or if ever I have spare time just to accommodate and fulfill the load that I had bought for it. All in all, for me INTERNET or this new media helps me a lot despite of the fact that it’s hassle for me sometimes to have it. But I can say that this helps my life because whenever curiosity pops up on my mind, I constantly check it on Google and find out what does it mean. And of course with this media, I can easily communicate with my relatives who’re far from me. The effects may become bad only if the person who uses this media doesn’t know how to handle its proper usage. But for me, 85% of the internet helps me and made me feel a lot better. :D
