                                       THE EFFECTS OF THE INTERNET

In today's world, people spend most of their time in front of the internet, so when we look at its impacts, we can divide them into three. That is, we can say there are three main effects of spending time on the internet. One adverse effect is an increase in the number of isolated people. Because the internet is a huge library, the media tool and the online government, and provides people with online market and online banking, people can find whatever they seek on the internet. As a result, they become dependent on the internet by spending too much time in front of it, so in this regard , they become isolated from the society. Another effect of the internet, the rising number of conscious and cultured people, is positive. People improve themselves culturally since one can reach all types of current information by means of various resources, essays and comments on the internet, and conduct a wide range of research. Thus, we learn a lot of things from the internet, from academic topics to private lifes of the well-known. As for the last and positive effect of the internet, we can meet with different people from all over the world, and keep constant communication with them, so we can learn various cultures, languages, and our horizon broadens. In conclusion, as the internet has both negative and positive effects on our lives, it can be said that it is benefical provided that it is not used excessively.
