 “Less than 20 years ago people didn’t have internet on their mobiles, now they can’t literally live
without them. Everything is in their phones, all the apps, contacts, notes, passwords, plans, and
appointments. At that time, all these things came for a good reason, but now people are addicted to it
and we can see the cons that also came with the pros.
Nowadays, everybody has access to information from every platform imagined which sounds
great, however some information could be reached by children too easily. Besides the exposure of
some personal information that constantly happens online.
Internet has helped not only the access to information, but also the connections offline. It
happens with social and dating websites. It used to be harder for people to find job opportunities, new
people, new experiences, now there are apps for all of these finalities.
In another hand, with the same easiness people have their problems solved they can get
addicted and dependent to this new life. People are starting to forget the real life and struggles. It is
possible sometimes people can’t fix problems with their own hands, without the need of internet.”
