CET作文(互联网的利与弊)
There is no denying that Internet is one of the most wonderful inventions and it is fair to say that it has transformed the society. Nobody could have failed to notice the fact that a revolution in the field of entertainment, education and communication is taking place just because of computers.
Undoubtedly, it provides a great source of media and information for all generations, allowing us all to enjoy entertaining shows and take in information from all over the world. Additionally, various educative and informative programs can also be shown on the Internet, which are of great help to the students. Factually, Internet is also a good medium of communication that hampers us from talking with each other face-to-face. If a person spends too much time surfing on-line, then he will become lazy and shirk work and sit idle. Simultaneously, it affects the eye-sight and it is thus very risky for the small children. Computers also provide opportunities for children to be exposed to more inappropriate contents than ever before.
Taking into account all these factors, we may reasonably draw the conclusion that Internet is just like a double-blade sword. For one thing, we should make full use of Internet’s merits while avoiding its drawbacks. For another, it is essential that the supervisory role of laws and regulations should be strengthened to punish those committing cyber-crimes. Only in this way, can we strike a balance between the advantages and disadvantages of computers.下载本文
