Recommended: Importance of the Internet in education

Internet is a great communication tool in the 21st century which is widely used in education, business, government, family and almost all the other fields all over the world. It is really a huge technical jungle in modern times: colorful, interesting, full of impenetrable mysteries which need people to explore, but still delusive and risky.

The law No.1 of jungle: Once you are in a jungle, it is hard to find ways out.
Internet is a dangerous place in which a large number of persons get bogged down. There are so great quantities of information on the Internet that people usually have to spend quite a long time to find the useful one. For example, you will get 740 webs from Google after you input the two irrelevant words ¡°jungle¡± and ¡°internet¡±; if you just search for ¡°jungle¡±, the number will sharply increase to 10,400,000. Moreover, People who have little ability of self control will lose themselves in the bewildering jungle wasting beautiful nights one by one just in front of the screen, which is absolutely bad for their health. In addition, fictitious news, violent content, junk mail, pop-ups and computer viruses flooded the internet. People who surf on the net must beware of these dangers in every minute.

The law No.2 of jungle£ºJungle exerts its influence on the cognition and behavior of jungle animals.
Internet, to a certain extent, shapes our views about society, such as understanding of what is important and what is not important. The "important" issues are to be found on the obvious place of webs. The "not important" stories are the ones that are not being told at all. The "not very important" stories are probably very short and hidden in the corner. By prearranging public issue, the internet makes decisions for us.

  • SLEEP!

    595 Words  | 2 Pages

    It is well known that college students do not sleep enough. But what makes students not sleep? Is it the pressure of the student’s parents to do well in school or the feeling of needing to be at every social event or maybe both? This is obviously different for every student, but the majority don’t sleep because they are studying. The students will force themselves to go against their biological sleep clock so they can get another assignment done. “We sleep less because we want to or must work more, study, socialize, or engage in other activities that take precedence over healthy sleep.”(Imaging Sleep and Sleep Disorders) College students prioritize school before sleep, because of the high amounts of homework required for them to do, but sadly this has a horrible effect on the student’s physical health and the health of their grade.

Buboltz, Brown, and Soper (2001) reported that 15% of college students are unsatisfied with their quality of sleep. Many factors may contribute to the disturbances of sleep habits in college students. Late night studying, all-nighters, parties, social obligations, work, and alcohol and/or drug abuse all likely play a role. Research has indicated that students’ poor sleep patterns is linked to increased tension, irritability, depression, confusion, and generally lower life satisfaction (Pilcher, Ginter, Sadowsky 1997).
