It has recently come to my attention that people are reading less and less. I have noticed that as I've grown older, most of my friends have stopped reading, or only read books when necessary (for school). There is only one explanation (in my mind) for this: The Internet. Yes, my friends, that is what I believe is the cause for all the reading related problems. People find ways to spend hours on the computer while accomplishing nothing. Whilst reading, a person can learn quite a bit. Even the books that seem simple and easily readable will have at least one thing new to tell you. Unfortunately, I can not say that about all websites. Some websites are informative, sure, but others are so pointless it makes me wonder why they even exist. I am aware that I often talk about facebook in a negative manner, but it has at least one pupose that I can think of. While facebook is a very good time waster it also helps you to connect with friends you can't talk to easily another way.
There are also very good websites. My favorite thing in the whole world is Google. Google is also my least favorite thing. Google is very convinient for school projects and things like that, but it also creates an easier way for people to find thing to waste their time doing. Another website that I find is extremely helpful (but does not, that I can find, have anything to waste time doing on) is Bibme. It is an online bibliography creator. All you have to do is type in the name of the book/website and it puts it in bibliograpy format! It's all very exciting, and it REALLY saves time on projects.
Now, because all I ever blog about is the internet, high schools, and facebook, I will add high school into this to have three-in-one! The internet is also really helpful for finding out about schools. All of the schools have websites, and tell about the school. It's good to be prepared. Like a boy-scout!
So there you have it, my opinion (again) of the internet.
