Internet has changed our life in so many ways, its difficult to say or see the negative factors of internet because when something is being invented ,they first see only what can be achieved from that and they dont see how it can be misused.  Similarly when we have internet facility it depends on how we learn to use it and may be we set an example for our children on how to use it. internet has made our life so easy that now if we have any doubts or need to know about anything we can just get all the information just in seconds by clicking that site.

The only problem is when a person sits down to browse the internet he has to know what he needs from that and how long he sits with it as nowadays there is no communication within the members at home as each have their own computers and once when all are at home, each sit with their computers and so there is no bonding within the family members, the children play games whole day and they chat with their friends and there are also chances for them to misuse the internet, so sometimes it becomes difficult for the parents to control their children from using the internet too.

When parents teach the children from the beginning on how to use the internet and its limits and also set up a timing for them to use it ,lots of problems can be solves,so for that first elders should also follow the same rules for themselves.Internet has become so adictive to most of the people that once they sit with their computers they dont know how time passes and so before lts too late we must realise our mistakes. There are many children who sit and chat until late night and make it a habit which goes out of control later on.They should be eaxplained how they can ruin their lives too if they are not careful in using the internet in proper ways. They should be careful in picking up right friends too in chatting as teenagers fall in trap with wrong people too.  So let's teach our children the importance and good things about internet and explain them the negative uses of internet is harmful and lets be an example for them by setting a time and use it in a proper way.

The world is a beautiful place to live in and we are lucky to be born in the period when computers and internet were invented so why not we use all this for better purpose and good thing then to ruin our lives and see and do the negative things.In school the children can also be taught the ways of using internet and its benefits and its disadvantages. Parents and teachers can explain it in a better way than parents too as sometimes children tend to understand when teachers explain.  We should explain how in earlier days we had no facility like these and now from banking and booking tickets we can do it through internet when in those days we had to stand in queue and waste so much of time when now life has become so simple and easy and how we should be careful in using all this and we cannot prevent some sites in internet but we can at least prevent ourselves and our children from going into such sites.  Let the children know that their future has been brightened by so many good inventions and so they should repect the things they have got .
