Reflection

Margaret Ahn

Internet definitely can be considered as most influential mass medium in my life. I waste time a lot by chatting with my friends, taking care of my blogs, and searching internet for interesting information or news. As soon as I sit down in front of my computer, time ticks crazily. I admit the fact that internet use had made me to be lazy.


I tried to stop doing those things by not touching the computer; however, school is forcing me to use computer more and more. As world is becoming opened to technology, education also offers more comfortable and accurate system to both students and teachers. I like doing my work by hand because there are no factors that lure me to become a procrastinator. Because more works are required to be done by technology like this blogging assignment, I tend to be more away from balanced life.


Although there are many negative effects that internet had caused me, I believe there are also positive impacts. For people like me who does not enjoy reading paper sources such as newspaper, I get to know the world situation easily by various internet sites. I think it is also a convenient way to express one’s opinion and to realize others’ perspectives in other part of the world. Internet, I believe, is a good mass medium when the time use is controlled.
