The Disadvantages of Children with the Internet

Do the internet have more advantages or disadvantages towards society and people, especially children? Disadvantages and advantages will allow children’s minds to help develop themselves as an adult in the future. Children’s lives are being influenced by the internet negatively. Children and even people are forgetting how to communicate with one another because the internet  is taking over children’s ability to communicate with one another. How children use the Internet and how a child uses the Internet significantly impact the Internet’s influence on him or her. Otherwise, a child’s personality and developmental has a big impact on how  the Internet’s influence on him or her. Everyone should realize that children’s minds will negatively be impacted by the internet, while they develop as a person.Therefore, the internet will prevent children’s minds to do things negatively for their advantages.

Children lives are being influenced by the internet  negatively. The Internet has a significant potential for providing children and youth with access to educational information, and can be compared with a huge home library. However, the lack of editorial standards limits the Internet’s credibility as a source of information. There are other concerns as well.The amount of time spent sitting in front of computers can affect a child’s postural development. Excessive amounts of time at a computer can contribute to obesity, undeveloped social skills and a form of addictive behavior. Although rare, some children with seizure disorders are more vulnerable to attacks brought on by a flickering television or computer screen.Negative influence is the internet  include pedophiles who use the Internet to attract young people into relationships. There is also the potential for children to be exposed to bad material. Overall, children lives can be both influenced by the internet both positively and negatively. But it all determines by the individual’s personality, and how children use the internet for their own advantages.

Children are forgetting how to communicate with one another because the internet is taking over children’s ability to communicate with one another. Not only the internet is being a distraction to children, but also other digital technology like phones and television. There’s so many distractions these days like the internet to avoid conversations with people. For example, children can learn to use social media and email to contact people to avoid face to face conversations. This can also be an advantage for children to learn about technology and how to used email to be ready in the future, so they can used those tools as an advantage when they get older.

How children used the internet will determine the impact of the internet’s influence on him and her. First of all I think how much and when children used the internet can affect their social outcomes.On the one hand, time spent online is time not spent elsewhere, including participating in social activities and communicating with family and friends.The Internet’s social impact may depend on using these tools to build new relationships and strengthen existing ones. Bill Wesak explains how the internet can promote  and Social impact may also depend on personal and situational factors. Alternatively, it may be that Internet use has no social impact. Like media that have preceded it, the Internet may be seamlessly integrated into people’s ongoing lives. Another way that the internet can affect children’s economic outcomes.

Does using the Internet affect children’s development? Do children become socially isolated or connected when they use the Internet? Do they become depressed or elated? Does school performance suffer or improve? Is the internet influenced children negatively or positively? The internet can have both advantages and disadvantages towards children. In order children to avoid bad habits from the internet they need to be guided and monitored by grown up, especially parents. Technology is advancing and the internet is going to continue to develop and change rapidly. Therefore, children need to used the internet and technology until they are matured and understand how the internet is capable to create bad habits and information.
