Life without Internet

Nowadays Internet takes a huge part of everyone’s life because even 50% of work depends on it. And this is talking just about doing job, so what about chatting with friends and colleagues, watching movies and series online, download music or information…

As you could see, not every single person can just avoid the Internet. There are many reasons such as ones, those I mentioned in the first paragraph. But everyone knows this crazy nightmare: your Internet limit is over or you don’t have enough money to use it. Here we are facing with a problem: people really don’t know what to do without their mobile phones, gadgets or other stuff which is always connected to the Web. Someone, actually, don’t know that earlier when there hasn’t been any Internet people called each other in the window or came at home of their friends. Now the only one method of easy communication is Internet.

Personally, I believe that the life without the Internet is much memorable and I know many thing to do when you are far from it, but I know that I couldn’t give up Internet. Maybe just now, when I’m studying – I need to contact with teachers, look for the information, etc.. I hope that the time when people would change their Iphone for Alan Poe’s book just for fun, not for necessity. I know that Internet is indivisible part of life now but we can change this position a bit. Why don’t we try to find out something interesting outside Internet?

Social network sites

Our days people don't respect social network sites. Everybody thinks that internet is a sickness, which kills their time. But I don't think so.

Life is very long and it's over we can meet many good people. As for me, all my childhood was in three different cities. Now I have three best friends from these places. I know that I will not soon come back and meet with them. It goes without saying that talking on phone is too expensive. So we only chat in social network sites. It is very useful and now I can't live without it. I am always smiling when i see a message from them.But internet isn't my problem, on the other way it is the only source to contact with my lovely friends.

In my opinion SNS were made for chatting with people who you care about, it's not a source of entertainment things, were you can spend all day and all night. Moreover it's good idea for talking with friends because it's free.

Of course it's always better to read book. But real friends are very rare,no matter how long is your life) So we need just regulate our time spending in social network sites and all will be ok. But how cool is seeing people smiling with their phones))

Selfie. Ilness?

Here I’m gonna wright my attitude to this illness .A lot of people do selfies nowadays.

Wiki thinks that selfie is “ a self-portrait photograph, typically taken with a hand-held digital camera or camera phone. Selfies are often shared on social networking services such as Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. They are usually flattering and made to appear casual. Most selfies are taken with a camera held at arm's length or pointed at a mirror, rather than by using a self-timer.”

I have no problem with them. People try to act like they're too cool for selfies but to me, like anything else we post on social media etc, it depends on the contents of that selfie. There are instances where I question someone's judgement...

BUT there are so many instances where a selfie is awesome. I love a lot of selfies I see. In fact, I take them when I want to remind myself that I like what I see in the mirror sometimes. I take them because no-one else will, to prove that I was somewhere or doing something. I like seeing some of the humourous selfies taken by funny people - clever stuff. I like tourist selfies (as long as they let some of the background in). I love taking silly ones with friends.

I get sick of people making fun of the selfie and shaming those who are seen pouting into their camera phones. It's all a bit of fun. Some are better at it than others. Whatever.

But selfie became a serious illness because a lot of people do them a lot, wherever they are( in bathroom, bedroom, toilet, school…). I think, that making a lot of selfies (15-40 per day)is a disease.

Do you think that soon everybody will do selfies(from 6-old boy to 88-old woman)

 

 

Privacy

Privacy.
Have you ever thought about how does anybody can get the information about you ?Obviously , the first thing that bares in your head is " ...well, my friends could tell you ...". Then think ,if anybody says " what if I know aspects of your privat life but I don't know any of you mates" ? Would it sound threatening or scareful for you ?
Of course, any  private information happen to be using by unknown persons seems going to play a low-down trick with you . Everybody knows it . The awareness of threat makes people feel  exposed.
But privacy is a very common right , people are fighting for.. So why we still have problems with it?
It comes up with Internet and Media , and that's the most logically right answer ! Social networks , reality shows , TV - all of those means of getting information based on spreading the information , in most cases private .
In case of being celebrity-giving out private information means earning popularity , because the audience need it to be entertained, whereas celebrities put there lives at risk..

Life without the Internet

A lot of people think that life without Internet could be better. People would spend more time with theirs books, theirs vision would be much better and the would connect with real friends not with virtual.
On the one hand it's true. Life could be more healthy and useful. For example if you need some information you can read books or if you need to know news than you can read the newspapers or watch the TV. Your parents and especially grandparents will never understand why can't you stop using the Internet and start living life the used to live without it. Actually I think each generation has its own sources of knowledge. Previous generation used to find information In books and they read the real newspapers instead of virtual. Nowadays you can do all this things using your phone or computer. It's like a part of human evolution. Internet is a great think that can help you everywhere. You can read electronic books, watch TV or films you want to watch, connecting with people all over the world. Probably some people spend too much time on the Internet but you just should control yourself. How we can actually live without it?

Life without the Internet

The Internet is the significant invention for our present and our future. When people had more opportunities of communication than now? Could our grandmothers and grandfathers imagine, that one day it will be possible to сommunicate with friends, living in other country, without leaving a flat; to read any book, without going to library; to buy any goods you like without going to shop?

The Internet has become an essential part of our lifes, we just can’t imagine existence without constant access to information. Without food human can live about 2 months (if he will drink), without water human will die in 5-7 days, and how long can we live without the Internet.

Can you imagine now, that about 50 years ago, people lived without  it? Probably not, it's all because nowadays World Wide Web turned from a simple informational resource into a service provider for life. We use it during the day a lot. If we have to answer a difficult question, firstly, we will google it. If we need to cook new dish, we will google how to make it. If we don’t know, where we are, we will open a map. Electronic map. The Internet has become part of us, sort of upgrade, we are practically like Superman until we have Internet access: we know everything, we know everyone, we know the last news about last events and so on. But since the Internet has become this important for us, many people have started asking one question: «What if the Internet is much more harmful (for health, for real communication) than useful?»

As every big theme, that really worth discussing, the Internet has it’s own pluses and minuses. Internet addiction can ruin human mentality and his social contacts, such consequences are bad of course, but imagine: something bad had happened and the Internet has disappeared. Horrible, isn’t it? What will we do, if it can’t be fixed? Will our world wallow in panic or will our ‘greatest minds’ think even faster to solve this problem?

To sum up, people need the WWW,  people, who are against it should just accept it, and we should use web careful and do everything that won’t give information from the Internet replace our thoughts and feelings.

Life without the Internet

Nowadays, the Internet is an essential part of our lives. Lots of people all over the world use gadgets to find out new information. People of different ages, from kids to old, can use the Net. I think that more than a half of users couldn't imagine even a day without Internet connection.

What a day without Internet can be? From my point of view now there is a lot of useless information in the websites. People waste their time reading unnecessary stuff which becomes forgotten rapidly. Instead of this people could read books, newspapers, that is healthier and more comfortable. The speed of changing the information in your head will reduce, but it's good mind benefit. As for me, it's easier and more comfortable to use a sheet of paper and a pencil to express my thoughts because people of our generation are used to this method of working.

Also, you can meet your friends, walk with them in the streets and have real communication. People using social networks are addicted to the website, but not to friends there. They believe that virtual communication is a good alternative and of course laziness prevents real communication.

So, personally I believe that it's possible to live without Internet and use it only for appropriate tasks.

The media 

Nowadays mass media has an important role in our life. We listen to radio, watch TV, read articles in magazine and newspapers and we need to watch/read the news to be understanding. But what is the main purpose of mass media?

Firstly, let's consider about all purposes of mass media since the first newspaper was printed. Old newspapers had two main purpose: to inform (about political situation, important events and famous people) and to influence on people from government (to calm people down and inspire the "right" point of view). Then after information explosion mass media started inform people about culture (new great books, paintings, etc) and introduce a special model of behaviour. For example, articles about healthy lifestyle or about need to be active in political life of your country. Now there is one more purpose - to discuss about the most wide-speard pr
oblems and questions in people's lives, such as what everybody should do to be successful.

Personally, i think that the most important propose of mass media is to show people what is good and bad; right and wrong. Anyway, mass media should be  responsible for the information they give. But are they understand their responsibilities? 

Life without the Internet

Nowadays the Internet plays an important role in life of every person. Many people addicted to the Internet. They can't imagine their life without it.  Even after one day without the Internet people become to panic. And so, let's understand how the Internet impacts on our life?

There are two aspects of influence of the Internet on us: positive and negative.

Let's discuss negative effects of Internet. As I have mentioned before the Internet makes a big impact on people. First of all, they feel really chill when they are forcefully separated from their devices or connectivity. For instance, people every surfing the Internet at least 7 hours. They communicate with their friends all day long, they listen to music, download films and so on. That is why they can't concentrate on their other works. They just surf the Internet. Personally I think that people become lazy and they don't have any wish for doing their work, going for a walk with their friends. Secondly, the Internet makes a bad impact on our health.

Now, let's discuss positive impacts of the Internet. Of course, except bad aspects of the Internet, the Internet has a lot of advantages. There are a lot of information, so it is much more convenient for us to look for information using the Internet than finding information from books. So we can spend less time on doing our homework and more time on  important things.

So, in conclusion I would like to say that the Internet has a lot of disadvantages and also a big amount of advantages. And what is your opinion of this problem?

Life without Internet

Since the "arrival" of the new invention that is known as the Internet, we have been impressed by the speed of our lives, by the speed of receiving and giving out information. Nowadays, we even don't expect to get letters from our friends or relatives who can live far away, because we just don't need it: we have e-mails which are always available and fast. We can buy any thing through the Internet and even don't have to get out of a chair. Yes, it's very convenient and doesn't need much time. But, however, is it normal?

For people of the 21st century it's hard to even imagine life without the Internet. And I'm convinced that in many ways it would be very beneficial but at the same time be very detrimental. It's like in every thing there are both good and bad sides.

On the one hand, it would be good for our brain. Teenagers will spend more time communicating together in reality, but not in virtual life of social networks. They will have more free time and will spend it on reading books, going outside with friends or with their family, they'll do different kinds of sport and just be healthier. We will write letters again, we will go to the cinema with friends instead of watching films online at home.

On the other hand, we will spend more time on searching different information. Just imagine: firstly, you have to go to the library, they will give you some books 1000 pages each, you will have to look through them and, finally, you will manage to find the right information. Now compare it with just one push of the button of the Internet! What is easier? Of course the Internet. But what information will be more valuable for you? From books, as you have spend too much energy on it! And we receive that information better, on which we spend more time and energy. But it's just the connection with us. But what about the whole world? People wouldn't be able to work, all worldwide systems will be off, all contracts, all banks' systems, all meetings, all corporations won't be able to function.

To sum up, we can see some advantages and disadvantages of using the Internet and not using it. But still we can't judge whether we can live without it or not, can we?

Social Networks

Nowadays we have plenty of different social networks. We waste our time surfing there day and night. Having our phones or notebooks we can be online everywhere. Some people are really addicted to social networks and they need to check their tweeter or instagram every single minute.

You have complete freedom of choice to use one of the thousand networks. Like square photos? Welcome to instagram! Really love google? Your choice is Google+. But there is one important condition: in order to be in touch with your friends they should use the same network!

In modern families you can clearly trace the evolution of the ways of communication. Usually there are three generations in a common family: grandparents, parents and children. Each generation prefers its own way to communicate. Grand parents like landline phone, parents usually use mobile phone or email and children and young people prefer social networks. 

There are some certain advantages of social networks. You can communicate with your friends all over the world and for free. You can find like-minded persons or special interest community in over a minute. More of it, what I like the best of the social networks, it’s an exchange of the experience and information between ordinary people.

But there are negative sides as well. Firstly, social networks allow their creators or other organizations (such as CIA for example) to control our personal data, interests and to trade them without our knowledge or consent. Secondly, live communication is replaced by virtual reality. Two friends can sit side by side and write something on the devices but they do not exist for each other now and here. And thirdly, people have lost the feeling of responsibility for their words and deeds through social networks. The whole important ability is being destroyed by these networks. A person – a doctor or a parent – can do or say whatever he/she wants and nothing will happen. No fear, no mind, no heart. 

So what do you choose: networks or a real life?

Life without Internet

Nowadays, almost every person can use the computer. But, wait… Every person HAVE TO use the computer. It’s comfortable for everyone. We can’t imagine our lives without internet.

As for work, just click and you can start it from everywhere. You can work at home, office, café… just everywhere you want and then, you can send it to your boss by e-mail. 

In the internet you can find everything. 

For example, you can’t cook and you don’t know what to do. Your parents have gone to work and nobody can help you. But you’re really hungry! What will you do then? You can ask your computer for some help. It will find you some recipes of easy dishes or some cafés that are nearby.

Also, because of internet, you can communicate, for example, with your friends, grandparents who live far away or with colleagues from another countries for free. There are some programs, like Skype or FaceTime, where you can chat even with seeing each other! 

Apart from good options, there are also lots of minuses. Internet can ruin your life! A lot of people use internet without any purpose. Teenagers like playing online games with friends. Often, if they can’t complete the mission, they get angry and really aggressive. They’re getting obsessed with games. 

Also, your life will be able to ruin by internet if you don’t pay a lot attention to your family. You won’t communicate with them, won’t know how are they. Your family can say that you exchanged them to Internet and they will be right.

I think, the internet is a really good thing, but ONLY if you understand that you mustn’t spend all your day in it. You must use it if you really need to.

And what do YOU think? Can you imagine life without internet?

Selfie and how to do it.

Most teenagers and young people entertain themselves new trend in photography - selfie. What is selfie? . . Selfie- obvious self-portrait, the image is clear that the author photo shoots himself.

Any pictures are divided into good and bad.

good light is an integral element of any pictures, and selfie is no exception to this rule. Before you click on the button to create a snapshot, choose a place where there is enough lighting. Also note that the sun or the light source was in front of you and slightly above eye level, instead of light because of the shoulder directly into the camera.

Natural light is so much better conveys the color, than an artificial, but when selfi not so important color accuracy, since the distortion of the color temperature may serve as a kind of artistic feature of the photo. For convenience, the Studio equipment manufacturers have developed a SPECIAL PEN FOR SELFI, you can attach a light camera, which greatly increases the convenience for shooting importdata.

The next thing you must pay attention to is the place where you are going to take a picture. There are some places where selfi will be absolutely inappropriate. Probably not even worth talking about funerals or weddings, and other celebrations. Just every time ask yourself the same question: " Is it a really suitable place for selfie?"

Life without the Internet

Nowadays the Internet is very important for us. We can do just everything we want to with it: read news, communicate with our relatives and friends, buy things, play games etc. On the other hand, we spend a lot of time using it. So sometimes such questions arise — could we live without the Internet, would it be better or worse?

As for me, I think that the Internet is an essential part not only of our life but of our mind. We use it a lot during the day and if we have any question, the first thing we do — we google it. World Wide Web is the biggest information storage on the planet. Actually, it helps us to live: it tells us all about the weather, traffic and other important things.

So let’s imagine that one day the Internet has disappeared and nobody knows the cause of it. What happens? People can’t work, all worldwide systems are off, banks has lost all their money, enormous corporations are falling into ruins. We are observing the beginning of the apocalypse, our world cannot function. 

To sum up my ideas, I’d say that the Internet is like a spider web which is in every little corner of our planet and our life is impossible with out it, because our world is addicted to it, it’s reliant on it.

The Media

The original idea behind the creation of "mass media" was to entertain people but now all the media, including TV, newspapers, radio and magazines have a great influence in shaping people's ideas both for the better and for the worse. 

One of major duties of media today is to inform people about the latest happening around the world. They cover all aspects of our interest like cinema, music, books, politics, science, fashion, etc. The need for more news has evolved into creation of dedicated TV & radio channels and magazines. People can listen, watch and read latest news whenever they want.

We cannot deny that mass media have a great contribution to shaping our ways of thinking and an important role in our attitude to life. Some people complained that children nowadays tend to be lazier and more violent. This is the result of bad programs shown on TV, video games and uncontrollable websites. People, especially teenagers, always have an idol and they tend to follow that their idols do and say no matter these things are good or bad.

On the other hand, the power of media is so huge, it can be used to educate people with very little cost. But unfortunately, because of money-making approach of media and lack of interest by government, very less work is done in spreading the education.

In conclusion, the media has the power of educating people, the good and the bad. Since it affects eyes, ears and minds simultaneously, can something or someone overcome the influence of the media?

Like Jim Morrison once said: "Whoever controls the media, controls the mind."

Life without the Internet

There is a great impact of the Internet on our daily life. Nowadays everybody have to deal with computers and electronic devices, everyone has access to the global network. What kind of influence is this?

Firstly, let's think about bad aspects of that impact. A lot of people has an addiction to the Internet and they can't do anything than downloading pictures and their mail every second. Instead of this they could go for a walk with their friends or read a book. 

Also it's hard to do your work knowing that everyone inside your unreal world in the Internet is chatting about the latest news at school. 

So using the Internet takes a great amount of your life and after you go out to the "real" world you can't even remember what exactly you've been doing the last hour. There is also a silly situation when you take your phone to just know the time and then you see that somebody has sent you a message or you just unlock your device and begin surfing the Net.

People without the Internet start to notice small details of their everyday life, for example bright sun, blue sky and so on.

Secondly, there is a positive impact of the global network. As a student I would like to say, that a fast access to the biggest amount of information makes it a lot easier to study. Moreover, the Internet is much cheaper than the real life, e.g. phoning a friend in Australia costs more than to chat with him.

Nowadays if you're a mother with a child and can't go out to work there is a simple way out - you can just work at home. 

Also you can download films, music, books, pics and etc. from the Internet (it's called piracy but still it's another story :) ). 

Anyway, it is very difficult to decide what kind of influence has Internet on all people. Every aspect of it has both positive and negative sides. So, what do you think?

Social networks

Think about your everyday life. If you make a list of all your things, you will see that really big amount of time occupy social networks. Chatting, checking news, posting photos and texts, updating websites every minute became one of the most important parts of our daily routine, our addiction.

Remember your friends, who are not really near now. It's obvious that you won't meet or at least call them if they are, for example, abroad, you mill send them a messege about how do you miss them. And, of course, that's awful. Appearence of Facebook, twitter, VK, tumbler changed our real communication into virtual. Even lovers have started to share their feelings for the first time online. The main problem is that it is not possible to share emotions online, to transfer your mood.

The importance of friendship and relationships is disappearing because of ease of dating and communication now and our main purpose is to save true relations. Maybe we don't need to switch off online connection, but we really need to separate different ways of speaking to each other and we mustn't mix real and online talks not to fall in the online weblife instead of our «live» life. So are you ready to leave your social networks at least for one day and see, how much free time will you have to spend it with your friends?

Real gentlemen are a thing of the past?

Real gentlemen are a thing of the past?

Nowadays there is an opinion that men are not gentlemen any more. Somebody believes that gender roles are not so important now ant lost its’ rules. I have a little bit different point of view and want to share it.

Personally, I believe that every person is different from another because of character and possibilities. So we can't say exactly that 'men are not gentlemen' or 'all of them are'. I can be clearly sure that some men in my entourage are real gentlemen and others are not. But it’s normal, I think. Everything depends on person and if man wants to be a gentleman it isn’t difficult to achieve. Being a gentleman is something that men and women both appreciate. In my opinion women will always respect gentlemen and won’t think about it like the action of a past. There is no woman on the Earth who won’t be lovely to be taken care of.

The opinion about gender roles is changed now, so here can’t be the same attitude to gentlemen as it was in the past. This is the reason why not every man is a gentleman, but nowadays there are really great members of that honorable kind of men.
