Bad Influences of Internet for Students

            These days, internet has become a usual thing. Internet also have so many important part in people’s life. Internet have so many things inside such as social networks, news, games, and so on. In this globalization world, internet gives not only good influence but also some bad influences. Most of my speech today will inform about the bad influences of internet for students because nowadays, internet has become a part of student’s daily life. Internet has help them to finish their homework and find new information all over the world. They can also meet new people through internet. And internet is not just a trend but a daily need around students all over the world.

            First of all, I will tell you the positive influences of internet for students. Using internet, the students can find infinite knowledge. Internet can open unlimited possibilities to get information and also education. Imagine a world without internet,  the students must find any information using books to finish their homework. And finding a certain topic in books are not easy. They can take hours or even days to find a certain information they need for homework. Internet minimize the searching time into less than an hour or even more.  It means internet help them to find specific information or knowledge in no time.

            The bad influences of internet for the students are can’t be denied. First of all, internet is so addictive. Why? Because there are a lot of activities to do on internet such as social networks, chatting, online games and so on. And why are those things so addictive? Because those things are interesting and some people can stay more than 2 hours sitting in front of their computers to browsing the internet especially students. Even some of them usually use the internet without any particular reasons for a long time. This can trigger a health problem because they sit too long in front of the computer.

            A simple example is social networks like facebook and twitter. What’s good from them are the student can collect newest information from people who connected to them via the social networks. But the social networks are happen to have some bad impacts also. In Indonesia, there was a case of kidnapping because the victim and the suspect are talking through facebook. And there were a lot of scamming using the social networks too. That’s why the students must aware of this criminalities.

            Another example is game online. Usually game online are also addictive and make the player stay in front of the computer until they reach a certain accomplishment. Some of them even stay up late and spend lots of money just for it. And for students this is not a good thing to do because it will affect their health. If the students didn’t get enough sleep at night and in the morning they have to go to school, they can’t concentrate on their studies at school. Spending lots of money for their game can also build a consumptive habit which is not good for them.

            And the last bad influence I will tell you is about the students’ dependence on internet resources. Sometimes the student will rely too much on internet especially to finish their homework. Some of them will just copy it from websites like blog and then give it to their teacher. This will make them lazy to finish their homework using their own ideas.

            And those are the bad influences of the internet for students. Internet also have positive influences for students. Using internet, the students can find infinite knowledge. Internet can open unlimited possibilities to get information and also education. Imagine a world without internet,  the students must find any information using books to finish their homework. And finding a certain topic in books are not easy. They can take hours or even days to find a certain information they need for homework. Internet minimize the searching time into less than an hour or even more.  It means internet help them to find specific information or knowledge in no time.

            Before I  end my speech, I have some conclusions. Internet is a place where people especially students can find infinite information and activities. We should think again about the real use of internet. Don’t get too addicted with it because it would cause some bad habits. Use internet wisely. Last but not least, “The Only Harm of Internet Comes from Those Who Do Not Use It Properly”.

And this is the end of my speech. Thank you for your attention and please use your internet with a wise thinking.
