Nowadays technology

Using Web sites is among the most common activity of today's children and teenegers. Social media have become prominent parts of life for many young people today. Most people engage with social media without stopping to think what the effects are on our lives, whether positive or negative.

On the one hand, some advantages of social media are that we can keep in contact with our friends or relatives which we cannot see them frequently. Parents can ask their children where they are or telling them something important in a moment. It is an easy and cheap way to communicate with whoever you want. With the social network Facebook you are informed of all current news which are happening around the world.

On the other hand, social media have also some disadvantages. Some people do not control the time they are using their mobile phones. Many people are dependent on their telephones and they are all day connected to the Internet. It can lead to addiction. One of the worst disadvantages is that people lay a lot through the chats; they take advantage that they are behind a screen and nobody can see them. In addition, some people have a close relation and confidence through the Internet and then when they are face to face, they are not able to have a conversation because of the shame.

To sum up, I think that using the Internet and the new generation gadgets is a good idea if they are used in a moderate way. We should not abuse of them and control the time we spend connected and the people we speak to.  In my opinion, everything in excess is not good.
