Internet Distractions
Abstract:
Is there a problem in the world of Web 2.0? Web 2.0 has brought many changes to our lives not only mentally, but socially and psychologically. It has affected the way we think, eat, and rationalize our ideas in our lives as we move from day to day. I have researched web 2.0 and it’s effect from daily usage and the results are not the ones we should really aim for. Its negatives out weight the positives in the many different forms of life. This has affected us in the way we think, our health and certainly distracted us from the many traditional ways of life. I have analyzed 4 studies that prove to us that web 2.0 , MMORPG (Massive Multi player Online Role-Playing Game), Facebook and social media, and how the people who are closest to us the most can use web 2.0 to harm us. As a result I have learned that this plays a negative role in your educational life because in one of my studies it is proven that Facebook users in college tend to do worse than non Facebook users. In the field of gaming it distracts a person from a traditional lifestyle and disconnects them from the people who they really care about. This is not only a addiction but its consequences are severe when it comes to how it affects their health and educational life. The Internet has also became a place where predators prey on innocent people. These predators are the people who you least suspect. The larger implication here is that there are more of a distraction in the world of web 2.0 and our demand to use it excessively will only lead to our downfall. This work increase our understanding of the negative effects of the Internet from the different aspects. These are Social Media and Facebook , Gaming , and health and safety.
