    The document discusses how young people use the internet, primarily through social networks. While the internet allows communication globally and benefits skills, it is reducing in-person social skills and causing health issues from excessive screen time like obesity, eyesight problems, and early disease symptoms from poor posture. Parents should monitor internet use but still allow independence.

    INTERNET

    The Internet is the way most kids connect with each other using social networks
    such as MySpace or Facebook. With so much action taking place behind a
    computer screen, adults and teachers are concerned about the loss of social skills
    among young people.

    In other words, the ability to communicate up close and personal with


    friends and family is becoming extinct. Young people simply don’t know how to
    hold a conversation. Take away a kid’s cell phone or computer and they tend to
    withdraw, don’t know what to do with their hands and become sullen. Hours in
    front of a computer on the Internet also lends to the obesity problem. Besides
    that, eyesight wanes after long hours in front of a computer screen. Bad posture
    and body pain can develop from long hours spent sitting. Many young people
    who spend a great deal of time in front of the computer are beginning to show
    symptoms of diseases and illnesses not usually seen until someone reaches
    middle age.

    Young people, today, are able to log on and talk to their counterparts in
    other parts of the world. The Internet literally opens up the possibilities of a new
    world culture enabling them to understand and appreciate its diversity.
    Furthermore, young people who regularly use the computer have better reading,
    spatial and visual skills.

    However, some of the information accessed may not be good for young
    people. Therefore, parents should keep a watchful eye without seeming to
    smother their growing child’s independence.
