Use of internet, beneficial or harmful?By MI-RYOUNG RYU on October 28, 2013 5:34 AM | 0 Comments | 0 TrackBacksNowadays, internet is so closely connected to our lives. It would be inconvenient to live without using internet. As smartphone developed, internet became more closely related to us and it changed our lives. People communicate by SNS rather than by telephone, people get information from portal website news rather than from book or newspaper, and share opinion or information by internet community. Therefore, we cannot live without using internet. As we get closer to internet, we both have positive and negative effects. For me, as I am one of users of internet, I want to share the opinion of positive effects of using internet communityFirst, people could learn and organize their thought by sharing information with people in internet community. For my case, I have one internet community that I frequently visit. In the community, people upload various political news, environmental news, or social issues so we can view these various kinds of issues at one place. Also, they make a post for sharing information about history, economic, life events or other fields. Therefore, I learned these issues that I could not easily learn in this internet community. Then, I gradually got interest in these issues. However, before I use the community, I did not have interest in social, political or environmental issues. The only issue that I was interested in was gossip and paparazzi. By being a member of the internet community, I was changed and learned a lot from it. Second, I frequently ask for counsel the problem I have. If I ask it offline, people that I could ask have a limitation to parents, friends or seniors. However, in the internet community that I visit, there are both men and women, and age of people are various from high school students to 40-50 years old. Therefore, I could get various opinions for various generation. As Manago, A., Graham, M., Greenfield, P., & Salimkhan, G. (2008) described, people tend to be honest, and they tend to show the ideal figure they wish to become. I think people including myself also be honest on the community. Because there are no other people that I need to show concern, I could express a real myself on internet. Therefore, I could ask the problem that I really need to solve but I could not ask to friends or parents in the internet community. And also, I felt that answers for the question that I asked were more honest, realistic and practical than the answer that I got at real community. Moreover, when I have a conflict with parents, I sometimes cannot understand their opinions. Then if I ask it in the community, then people who are at similar age of my parents give me advice and it helps me a lot to understand my parents, Therefore, I could learn various point of views to manage problems that I have. Finally, people in the community became friends. We upload pictures to shop and people usually choose for me. Thus, we shop together, and we share the things that we did everyday including foods, place, book, music or movie. Also, sometimes we meet together to eat together, exercise together or travel together. Therefore, when I have no friends to spend time with, then I used to spend time with members of the community. It is very fun to meet new people and I sometimes feel that they are closer than my friends. Since we are more honest in the community, we share all the thing, I sometimes feel that they are closer than my real friends. I think it is very good to me. I was very introvert person, but as I be a member of the community, I started to interact with other members. Therefore, it helped me to change my personality from introverted to extroverted.People sometimes say that internet has many negative effects that influence our lives negatively. However, for me, I experienced many advantages by using internet. I learned various fields of issues that I was not interested in, so I could enlarge my experience. Also, I got friends to get realistic solution and to spend time. Therefore, I could change my personality which was one of problems that I had. I think if we use internet appropriately, then there are many advantages that we could get from internet. Thus, it is important to use it appropriately. References
