INTERNET IN OUR LIVES

Although internet looks like to benefit us in terms of reaching information, doing it easily and for education; it also being used for dangerous purposes, revealing private personal informations and having psychological badly effects on people.
First of all, some people use internet for dangerous purposes like trying to get some vital passwords of banks, people’ accounts and etc. And some also try to cheat people. For instance; they show themselves as salesman, but they are just deceitful. They cheat people and take their money. In my opinion, this is a big problem to deal with. It is hard to arrest these people.
Second of all, it has some badly psychological effects on people, especially on children. Parents should be very careful to this point. Some children be addicted to computers and spend mostly their whole day in front of the screen. They play games, chat with people who mostly of them are liars. They believe them and when they realize that they are liars, live a big psychological traumas. I think, children have to take psychological counseling if they are addicted to computers.
Third of all, our personal informations are being reached by internet. As I mentioned before internet is not being used by good and right people. Some are trying to cheat people and we could be one of the victims. This is a hard solving problem, too. We should be very careful while using internet in financial purposes like doing transfers or checking our bank accounts. We should not give our passwords to anyone.
Those I mentioned above do not mean that we should not use internet too much and that internet has not got many positive effects to our lives. Today, lots of factories and companies make their deals and agreements by internet. It is being used in work, education and daily life. It makes easy to reach informations, to talk with our relatives and etc. To sum up, internet has negative effects too besides it’ positive effects and so we should use it carefully.

THESIS STATEMENT

Although internet looks like to benefit us in terms of reaching information, doing it easily and for education; it also being used for dangerous purposes, revealing private personal informations and having psychological badly effects on people.

FUNCTIONS OF TELEVISION
When a person enters a house full of average people,he/she can easily realize that all of the furniture in the room is directed to their television whether it is a living room,a bedroom,a kitchen etc.Because they see it as a tool of their lives.Sometimes it is a friend babysitting their child,a sister/brother full of gossip,a teacher informing them about everything they have in their minds and their parents telling fairy tales.As a result, common people treat tehir televisions like it can fulfill their lives.In fact, television provides people with two functions;namely being informative and entertaining.
To begin with,television informs audiences.Firstly,it enables people to get news which is the most coomon reason why people watch TV.It is clear that news in the mornings,afternoons and in the evenings give information about political issues,world affairs and latest developments in the world.For example,when the latest development become about the “Iraq and ABD war”,it is enough to turn on TV for learning immediately.It forms public opinion on different topics.Thanks to watching television,people develop different perspectives about an event.Secondly,debate programs are the other informative programs.For example,”Siyaset Meydanı” and “Ceviz Kabuğu”are a few of them.They create an ambience sharing opinions comfortably about an current event.These programs tell them people have lots of different opinions on an issue.They change and improve opinions.Thirdly,another informative program that students can benefit from,is distance learning programs.They make graduating possible at home for poor students and students who could not enter a university.Lastly,lots of people’s choice on TV is competitions and quiz shows informing people.Nowadays,audiences like these programs because of more educative than news.They not only raise the cultural level of people,but also encourage people to study and learn.
Another function of TV is that it provides entertainment.Firstly, reailty shows entertain them.It is known that they show a group of people’s actions regulated by special rules.Actually,it is a competition,but like the other quiz shows,they do not inform and educate.They only entertain people.People watch them just for fun and curiosity.The other type of entertainment program is music programs.These programs tell the latest news about favourite singers and give the musical videos all day for music lovers.Therefore,most teenagers follow these programs for their own interests.Cartoons,which are another type of entertainment shows as well,entertain not only children but also adults.They can do babysitting and make children happy.Most parents think, at the present time, that entertaining them is very important problem.Thanks to these programs,this is not a problem anymore for parents.Today,cartoons,in other words animations,can entertain adults such as “South Park”,”Family Guy” and “Simpsons”.These programs make them forget all issues.
As a consequence, people choose watching TV and benefitting from its functions because of being entertaining or informative or both of them. Thanks to television technologies, some of the programs can inform audience and improve their minds. On the other hand, some of them can make their lives much more entertaining than used to have no TVs at home. Because of these functions , now, TV is one of the most important part in people’s lives. Nevertheless, it’s nothing compared to now with the future. After twenty or thirty years, TV is going to be the one and only one family union of their incredibly small world.
