Teenagers cannot survive without the Internet(Reasons)

Gloria Gaynor once sang “I will survive” with the lyrics implied that she will survive despite her lover did hurt her feelings of love . But nowadays, the word ‘survive’ does not seem to be in the eye of the teenagers as they are too depending on the Internet. Unsocialised lifestyle, lack of information and online shopping are what behind their dirty little secrets.

            First and foremost , unsocialised lifestyle is the upbringing of this problem. Some teenagers are very active in communicating with others, virtually via the Net, others might found the Internet is an escapade from reality due to entertainment. This is worrying the older generations as they lack of real-life interaction and hide themselves from the reality. When they broke out from the cocoon of teenage life, the real world will proves to be harsh on them as they will lack real communication skills in future career life .

            Moreover, there is also lack of information from the written resources such as books, magazines and newspaper. So, the new generation find their way to easily accessible e-resources using the Internet. From daily healthy tips until senior’s or somebody’s assignment, with just a flick and a click , everything you want to know is in front of the monitor. No wonder although we are in the library , but  still rather turn our head on the laptop or computer because it is more efficient to browse a web than browse in a maze of books.

            Last but not least, online shopping have made its way as the reason teenagers cannot survive without the internet. From the success of e-Bay and Amazon.com , the Internet shows itself as a great platform for shopping. Shopping via the Net seems to be very convenience and enjoyable since it provides free shipment and buyers can have a sneak-peak on the item before they make their choices. Without the Internet, shopping on limited items would be difficult and the conventional shopping in the mall is very hectic and tiring.

            In a nutshell , as the new generation stands at the frontier of technology , the Internet is inseparable from their way of life. Unsocialised lifestyles, lack of information and online shopping have bring us to a more significant reasons to ponder on our youth’s daily dilemma. As an advice to the teenagers out there: ‘There is a better world outside the virtual world’.
