Reading can help people use their time to gain extra knowledge and learn new things more effectively. The unlimited access to various sources the internet provides has made reading easier than ever. Nowadays, traditional sources of reading materials such newspapers, magazines, books, etc have become readily available over the internet which has increased the accessibility to such materials regardless of the reader’s geographic location or time zone. Furthermore, most of these sources are available for free which provides an economically feasible way for people to read more. Moreover, the internet has become an integral part of people’s life and this has made reading even more easier as people are exposed to more materials on a daily basis.
However, this phenomenon has brought positive and negative effects with it. On the positive side, learning has become easier and people now are more aware than ever. Knowledge has become readily available and knowledge seekers can learn just by clicking on their mice. It has also brought an advantage to save the environment as less trees are being killed to make printable papers on which books and news papers are printed.
On the negative side, reading from the internet might cause some sort of addiction. Many people who are used to reading from the internet are known to develop some sort of addiction to the internet and spend several hours behind the computer screens. This has a social cost as people become less sociable and spend less time with the real world around them.
Conclusion
Reading from the internet has definitively brought some golden opportunities to people. However, this has come at the cost of developing an addiction among people. People need to use it moderately in order to avoid such a negative effect
Introduction
Fast food has become an evident part of people’s daily life. Previously, people used to eat healthy and freshly prepared food with their families at their homes. Today, however, many people, particularly young people, prefer to eat fast food such as hamburgers, fried chicken, pizza, etc. There are many reasons why this change has occurred, but this essay will also outline the serious effects of this move towards fast food on individuals and society.

There are many reasons for the popularity of fast food. One of the main reasons is the change in lifestyle. Many people in urban places are working long hours, shifts, or extended school days. They don’t have time to find ingredients or prepare good food. Both men and Women within the family are increasingly working, and this can result in less time being available for preparing family meals. The rapid development of urban places has meant that young people, who comprise the majority of the population, have money to spend. A third reason is advertising. The world has become a free-market world, with all forms of media such as the Internet and satellite television, and people like to try new products and different kinds of fast food.

However, this change in diet can have some serious effects. One effect is on health. Many individuals around the world are becoming obese. These people will be less productive and have conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. Another result of fast food culture is the loss of the family tradition of eating together. Children and adults rarely eat together now, and thus get less opportunity to talk. A further effect is on the economy.

Although fast food is not very expensive, it is more expensive than cooking properly for one’s self. Many of the fast-food companies are franchisees of foreign corporations, so profits leave the host country.
Conclusion
Fast food, although it is convenient and a tasty addition to a diet, can have serious health and social effects. People should learn to choose fast food carefully and remember the pleasure of eating good food in good company.
