I. Introduction
 Internet is a good source of information’s, news and everything that
concerns our society. It makes internet activities such as sending e-mails, messaging
thru chat and other forms of communication can be delivered less than a minute. While
the Internet has completely changed the way we communicate, learn, and function in
our daily lives, there are some setbacks to its constant use, especially for kids and
teens. It cuts into other important daily activities like spending time with family and
friends, in-person social interaction, homework, study time, and physical activity. Often
overlooked, the serious consequences of too much Internet time can impact your kids in
a big way. As parents it is your responsibility to teach your kids how to use the Internet
mindfully as well as how to stay safe when browsing the web. Doing so will help set the
entire family up for success while they surf the web.

Majority of the people use internet a lot especially teenagers because

the internet can be used for learning, for entertainment, for working, for meeting new
people and trying to change the world, and even for complaining about whatever is
bothering us. One of the people who benefits the internet are students, we can use the
internet for searching for our study relevant materials, assignments, quizzes,
presentations etc. Not only students but teachers also get help from the internet
especially when making their research We are one of the people in the planet who has
the privilege of being able to access the network of networks, so we should know that
we have access to a tool that can bring about a great improvement in our life; indeed,
there are studies and statistics that demonstrates that the internet is good for us. That
is, of course, if we apply common sense when using it.

Having access to internet is beneficial to all of us, but there are also
sources of information that are not reliable and contains fake news. Internet sources are
not all true all the time, so we must be careful of the links, blogs, news that we see, hear
and read. We also have a big obligation while using the internet because we can also
share information’s, statuses and even send messages, what we can do to help the
internet is spreading only true and approved information from the news or the links that
we read.

II. Rationale

One of the greatest and most common problem people under the age of
18 while using the internet is the absence of mind, forgetting the screen time, plays all
day, forgetting to eat on time, and not doing household chores. Most of the time, people
under the age of 18 usually stays inside their room all day and play with their gadgets
and communicate with their friends. The only problem is that they tend to forget about
needing to also sleep and eat on time.

To solve this problem, we need to propose that we should have a limited

screen time regarding with the use of internet for people under the age of 18 where we
can now help themselves to not always use or play with their gadgets and helps them to
be more productive and healthier.
 With this, people under the age of 18 can manage to do additional
extracurricular activities and their responsibilities or tasks inside or outside their comfort
zones.

III. Project Description

We need to have a limited screen time that is accessed on the gadgets

of the people under the age of 18. The limited screen time that is accessed on the
gadget can determine or even set the time limit on how long they can use that apps,
games, websites or even their communication with other people especially to those
people who are under the age of 18.

Purpose

This paper will help us know how limit the use of internet for the people
who are under the age of 18.

Objectives

To know what will happen and what will be the result to the people under
the age of 18 if they are limited to the access of internet.

Methodology

We must talk first with the parents and their children who are under the
age of 18 for their approval of limiting the access on the internet. After the approval, we
would teach the parents how to limit the screen time on their children’s gadgets who are
under the age of 18. And to reproduce survey feedbacks
