in class this morning we discussed about the statistics that describe that the internet isn't good for us. according to these stats, people who use the internet are less empathetic, mmore lonely, more depressed, and have poor communication whith their family. personally, i have to disagree with everything. although there are people on the internet who have these problems, i think the internet is not the cause, but it's an outlet or comfort for people who already have these problems. what do you guys think?

I agree that the internet is an outlet/comfort for those who have addictive personalities, but I believe that internet usage, unless under moderation, is very unhealthy for you. Almost everyone has a friend or know someone with an internet/technological problem, and those people are perfect examples of this. They never want to go out to do social stuff, they are always against meeting new people, they are socially awkward, have depression issues and etc. If you do not personally know someone like this, you can only relate to your life and what you read. Knowing and seeing this obsession disorder on a daily basis, you realize how much of a crises it truly is. People who have tapped too far into this drug and built this extensive addiction are what people talk and write about. These examples are normally too extreme for some to believe, but to bring this to a reality, a great example of a drug that everyone can familiarize with is Facebook. The people who post EVERYTHING they do on here, are people who "might" have a internet problem.
