The web: useful or dangerous?

24 Gen 2017

Hi, I am Lorenzo. I use Internet every day, and I usually go online at home. I don’t like surfing the web using my mobile because the screen is too small. I prefer using my PC that has a big monitor. I wiil tell you about danger of the internet.

I don’t use social networks and I don’t take selfies because I think it’s a huge waste of time. Instead I prefer playing online games with my friends that gives me fun moments.

My favourite game type is RPG, Rule Play Game, where I am a fantasy character and with other players we must complete Co-Operative mission such as fight a dragon, kill the bad king and so on…

But on my PC I also watch videos online, my most favourite videos are fun videos and tech-tips videos, uploaded by channels on YouTube such as LinusTechTips.

The Internet helps me also with school because when I must do a project I can digit on Google the keywords of my project and thousands of sites appear on my screen. This is the magic of search engines. For example on my Globalisation project the information that I got are not from books or parents or relatives but from the Internet.

But  Internet has also negative aspects. For example CyberBullying

On the Internet, cyberbullying takes various forms. Cyberbullying includes sending hateful messages or even death threats to children, spreading lies about them online, making nasty comments on their social networking profiles, or creating a website to bash their looks or reputation.

Cyberbullying differs from schoolyard bullying, Teachers can’t intervene on the Internet. When it happens online, there’s no one to filter it. And cyberbullies don’t witness their victims’ reactions, the way they might if they insulted others to their faces. They don’t see you crying, which may make it easier for them to continue, I think.

Another negative aspect of the Internet are old men in search of kids.

Some old men contact kids and teenagers pretending they are teenagers, the real teens cannot see these men. Once the friendship is created, they make an appointment and might kidnap the kid.
