Answer 2

Nowadays, it has become clear that the Internet may have a bad influence on our daily lives, especially when it comes to the social behavior of children. In our times, when a lot of families have computers and are active users of the Net, children should certainly learn how to utilize it. They should know how to get information, make online purchases, and even meet people online. If they don't learn to use the Internet when they are young, they will have great difficulties later on.

The Internet is a very powerful medium, which is going to be the main medium of the future. It provides a wealth of information, entertainment, and communication opportunities. However, there is a certain danger in the Internet. Children easily become competent users, but they don't know how to balance their online and offline lives anymore. The Internet will never replace real life, real friends, and real communication, and children should be made aware of this fact.

Parents should not just put their children in front of a computer and say, "Oh well, that's the Internet, go on, have some fun, and be quiet." The Internet was not made for children, and it should not be used as a babysitter. There is so much harmful material on the Internet that children should not be allowed to surf through it all by themselves. Absolutely the same can be said about television, which also has a tendency to replace real life. People who watch too much television tend to forget how to be members of a social community.

In conclusion, while the Internet and television offer numerous benefits, it is crucial for parents to guide their children in using these mediums responsibly. Children should be taught to strike a balance between their online and offline lives, and to understand that real life experiences and relationships are invaluable. It is the responsibility of parents and society as a whole to ensure that children grow up with a healthy understanding of the Internet and its limitations.
