Impact of the Internet on teenagers.

Internet nowadays has become inseparable part of our lives and regardless of our
age, profession and field. No one in today’s generation can survive without the help
of internet.
Everyone’s life has been changed and has been made much more easier. From paying
bills online to even sending gifts to others through online portals everything can just
happen at your finger tip. Most of the people have shifted to cities from towns. Kids pass
most of their time inside their houses either watching TV or playing computer and have
totally bygone about the outdoor activities. Internet is one of the most recent evolution in
the last two decades. Not surprisingly, this occurance is one of the biggest inventions of
the past century, but unfortunately this contigency has made some pessimistic impact on
our society and children. Internet has been growing so much that AI (Artificial
Intelligence) will soon become the dominant form of intelligence on this planet. Yes, AI is
something that will take over human species one day. Robots would be hired for every
kind of work. Humanity will be over; Machines will take over Humanity and No one will be
spared. Coming to humans,
Teenagers are the most common prey who can get artificial by the internet. As a
situation of actuality , cyberspace addiction is a usual habit for teenagers which will
affects their succeeding life, in fact have already affected the future i.e. teenagers
nowadays do everything for just social media followers. Not only their private life but also
can have an effect on their social behaviour and their education. Teens are spending
more time on internet with watching movies, gaming, chatting, etc. rather than doing
something that can boost up their future. In inclusion of , additional issue that has made
the internet hazardous for teens to search, is the pornography websites or adult fantasy
role-play chat rooms that have been created. Teens have uncomplicated access to the
pornography websites. As recent researches has manifested that Despite the
prospective pessimistic effects on children using the cyber space, more than 30% of
surveyed parents had not discussed the downside of Internet use with their children,
while around 70% of parents or guardian of teenagers do not realize that their children
had visited indecorous Web sites.

Recently, the emergence of advanced technology has impacted on all aspects of our
lives; it has had both positive and negative consequences. As can be seen
contemporarily, the evolving technology can have a strong impact on people’s lives, and
especially if they are teenagers, as they are vulnerable to change, and it can affect them
in different ways. Since they can be exposed to different types of victimization online,
much research has been done in this area in order to find out about behavioural internet
usage among teenagers. This focuses to explore to what stretch the internet can strike
the behaviour of Indian teenagers to stumble on the reasons why Indian teenagers
engage in these gloom ridden activities. Apart from this, teens who are recent on the
cyberspace often see it as a field where they have innumerable things to try and
explore. This leads to addiction. For instance, with the excessive use of Facebook,
Instagram etc.. teenagers are seen getting into relationships with people they hardly
know on the internet and thus begin the trauma which these young people should not go
thorough at this age which may affect their life and also is a great danger for their future.

Simultaneously, we cannot deny that internet also comes with its set of positives facts as
well. With ample amount of statistics and data info present on the internet, teenagers
can use it to vast extents for scholastic motive. Students who can’t afford to travel long
or can’t afford to go to these tutorials can study online through apps like edX, BYJU’S,
Udemy online etc-. Not online studying even shopping can be done easily being home at
your comfort from apps like Amazon, Myntra, Flipkart and many more. Even news from
the other part of the world can be known in just a TAP. How can we forget about video
calls which keeps you connected to your loved ones regardless of the physical distance
between the two persons. It will keep them connected with the outside world which will
help them in staying informed about everything that is happening around the world.

In simple words, I say that internet is good for teenagers as far as its use is regulated
and they are taught about the positives as well as negatives from the beginning. They
should be told how much to use it and how to use it. Keep in mind that internet is a must
for our academic growth and social development but it is never a necessity.

Concluding this I would like to tell, Internet is one such technology that could Make or
Mar the life of an individual.
