TAKE A BREAK FROM THE INTERNET

-You’ll Thank Yourself later(opinion)

CH.YAMINI
 INTRODUCTION:

o The Internet ,One of the most world-changing inventions

of the past century, perhaps even in all of human history.
o Never before has everything been so available in so little
effort for so low cost.
o But as a result, the Internet can become an addictive
force--a time sink that makes you look up at one moment
and wonder where your life has gone.
PHYSICAL RECUPERATION:

In fact, as you spend more and more time on the

Internet, your posture tends to get worse and worse
unless you consciously keep it in mind to sit
properly. If you do this day in and day out, you’ll
end up developing physical discomforts and pains
in the coming years (if you haven’t already). Plus,
extended Internet usage implies extended
computer usage, and that could mean 
excessive strain on your eyes.
By taking a break from the Internet, and the computer,
you’ll give your body some time to recuperate and
realign itself--that is, as long as you don’t replace the
Internet with television or something similar.
 MORE TIME FOR ACTIVITY:
• How much time have you wasted on the Internet
after being sucked into an endless vortex of cat
pictures, YouTube videos, and other such
novelties? A lot, I’m betting.
• Take an extended break from the Internet and go
learn some new skills. Discover new hobbies.
Read through that pile of books building up on
your Kindle. Hit the gym and burn off those
extra pounds. You’ll thank yourself later.
MORE TIME FOR RELATIONSHIPS
o The strange thing about the Internet is
that its inception has improved world
communications a hundred times over,
yet we’re beginning to falter in our real-
life relationships. 
o Have you ever declined an invite to go
out and have fun all because you’d rather
stay home and bum around? Not that
there’s anything wrong with that--unless
it becomes a controlling factor in your
life. When sociality goes flying out the
window, it may be time to consider taking
a break from the Internet.
 CATCH UP ON SLEEP
• Have you ever sat down at the computer at
9pm with the intention of sleeping at 10pm,
only to look up from your computer screen
and see that it’s 2am? Of course you have.
Even the most disciplined and self-controlled
Internet user has experienced the “Oh crap, I
need to get to sleep” syndrome.
• If you have a terrible sleeping pattern because
of the inordinate amount of time you spend
online, then perhaps you should take a break
and get that sorted out. A proper sleeping
schedule will work wonders for your body,
resulting in more energy and less drowsiness.
Wake up with the sun and enjoy the sunrise
for a change.
CONCLUSION
• The Internet is a great thing, but like all things, it
is best in moderation. Internet addiction is a very
real thing and it can be hard to spot before it has a
controlling grip on your life. If taking a break from
the Internet is an idea that makes you quake in the
knees and shrivel up in a ball of sweat, then
addiction is a real possibility.
