Our studies and the Internet
I think everybody knows how to write an essay, how to make a report and other operations. Just ask yourself: How often do you visit the  library in order to make your report or to write your argumentative essay? I think not every of us will answer: " I visit the library every week because it is useful for my studies". As for me, i always use the Internet when it's necessary to me. It helps me to save my time, to read different articles that i cant find in the library, it helps me to improve my knowledge by having different tests on-line, reading books, listening to books and so on.

But is the Internet always so helpful for our studies? Just imagine you sit in front of the computer screen and try to post something on our web-site. At the sate time you chat with your friends via ISQ, your Vkontakte web-page works and you try to concentrate and to write your argumentative essay, for example. Will you be successful in it? I really don’t believe in it. The Internet will distract you. And as a result, you wont write any essay, you will spend a lot of time chatting with your friends (instead of 15 minutes you will spent something like about one hour) and your plans for this day won't be carried out.

Sometimes students, especially pupils, who don’t want to spend a lot of time doing their homework, find the right answers in the Internet and just copy them. I think everybody did it at least once. But in this case we cant blame the Internet because it is our laziness that we all have sometimes.

But still why do we use the Internet and can it be helpful? I’m sure it can be, the question is how to use it. Don’t copy the first document that you found, take different sources, analyze them and make your own conclusions. This is the process of education that can make you an open-minded person and can form your skills of analysis, processing of necessary information .

As for my experience, when I studied at school I didn’t have the Internet and it was very uncomfortable for my parents to search any kind of information for my report, for example, in the library. But now, the process of studying became easier and faster. That can be pleasant in our modern life

To conclude I must say, everything is good when it has a limit. Don’t waste your time, use the Internet right.

One comment that is on the tip of my tongue - why did your parents search information for you when you were at school? That was entirely your own repsonsibility! wacko Another thing, i wanted you to write a research-based article rather than an account of your thoughts and memories on the topic.
