Is Internet making us a couch potato and isolating us from the others

  Our day starts on the internet and ends on the internet. We have done a significant progress in developing our technology and making our lives easier day by day. A few decades ago people preferred sending business letters to the companies which were highly expensive especially sending it to different country, but now people prefer sending emails and texts as its highly efficient. Now a day’s people don’t have time to talk to their loved ones, but have enough time to post a picture on Instagram and reply to 20 comments. There are a lot of apps that connect people around the world which are mostly known as Social Media’s such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat to name a just few. There are thousands of apps that connect people around the globe. But what about people around you? Most of us prefer sending texts to our friends instead of calling them or talking to them in person because we have been introduced to apps that are so addictive that we are losing people around us.

  Today all of us use internet for different things but mostly we use it when we are doing our homework’s. A lot of times people have suggested me to use the internet as it’s really easy to find the answers for a question. All you have to do is google the question and in the next 0.9 seconds and an answer is there for you. I have personally done this a couple of times when I am unable to find an answer. This saves my time and helps me to focus on a different question. This is a temporary benefit but as google gives me the answer I blindly trust it and without questioning it I wrote it down. This method is making the teens more inactive, rather than finding the answer in the book they simply prefer googling it as it is more convenient and a lot easy. Because internet is so easy to access nowadays its making us more lazier.

  Internet has a lot of branches and the most popular one is YouTube. It’s so interesting to see how we can watch our TV shows on this website in our own spare time. This website is so entertaining that there is no age barrier. It’s great for entertainment but it’s sad when people prefer watching YouTube video’s than going out. My five year old sister sometimes prefers watching Disney shows on YouTube than going out and playing with her friends in the park. She thinks being inactive is okay ,but if now she thinks that it’s okay what’s going to happen when she is 15.Is she going to be couch potato, and isolate herself from others. And become lazier day by day. There are many examples to support this but it is for sure that one day there will be no kid in the park, no teens on the beach, no adults in a party room as most of us would be engaged on the internet and feel no need to talk to someone. What would you like to look back at texts that never mattered or the memories that can’t be described?
