Internet and it's impacts on us.

It's really a stressful day for me,this week is our foodweek and we had to do some awareness so that people will know what we will be doing,we went to some of the lecture rooms where students are and we did some awareness,to me it was kinda boring because at first our hod said we should not play music,so alot of us left but some waited,we later played music and it became lively.

Now let's move to the real business of today.

How is internet affecting us positively and negatively?

Internet is really vast,it's impacting lives positively and negatively, while I was growing up I only know those olden days phone,Motorola or Samsung,those phones are only used to call, nothing like WhatsApp, during our great-grandfather days there is nothing like Facebook,there was no phone self,all they do is send letter or if there is any message to be passed to people,they send town crier to pass the message across to people,that is all they do,there was no enough knowledge,all they do is within themselves,even when they want to get married, they talk to their family members, community,if they want the news to go round but then that is the extent of their knowledge.

It has actually done them a lot of good,but this days before anything happen to you,you already posted it on the internet,alot of people tend to post whatever is going on with them,one of my pastor said during his own time there was no phone to post and they didn't die,he said alot of people now post everything that is going on with them,for example if they want to get married or they just bought a car or a house or even when they are pregnant,even bad things too,they post everything and it tend to expose them to unknown dangers, some sites are illicit sites that shouldn't be exposed to children or teenagers but nowadays that is where you will find those teenagers, exploring those illicit sites,been addicted to it,those are some of the negative impact it has on people now.

The positive impact is making us to know alot of things,the knowledge it gives compared to those olden days,we can easily send messages on our phones instead of town crying,there are alot of opportunities that we can access on internet now,if there is no internet how do we write here or on all the blogging platforms,we can easily check for places or things we don't know about before,there are times we even log in to Facebook to look for family members that are Faraway,so this are some of the positive impacts it has on us now.

But we should be mindful of the kids around us or even as an adult,we should let it affect us positively and not negatively and we should guide our children or siblings in the right way to use the internet,so they won't misuse it.
