More and more people are using the internet to do their tasks rather then doing in

person. (e.g. banking, shopping, hotel booking etc. ). Do the advantages of this
trend outweighs the disadvantages?

-------------

The popularity of Internet is growing more quickly than ever. Nowadays, an


increasing number of people are using the Internet to complete their tasks instead
of doing it themselves. From my perspective, I think that the pros of this
phenomenon may outweigh its cons. This essay will further elaborate my reasonings.
On one hand, the rise in Internet usage poses threat on people's physical health.
Due to heavy exposure with electronic screen, citizens' eyes may suffer from a wide
variety of problems such as short-sighted, which prevents people from seeing things
properly. It also increases the chance of being sick as people now spend more time
with their phone than doing exercise, which significantly affects their daily life.
For instance, metropolitan residents are often weaker than countryside people
because they spend more time at home in front of the screen while the rural
residents go outside more frequently. Therefore, the growing usage of Internet can
make people become unfit, leading to several health problems.
On the other hand, one contribution that the Internet is doing good to people is
time-saving. Since the Internet is much more informative and faster, using the
Internet in completing tasks reduces complicated works which are time-consuming,
saving a considerable amount of time. As a result, people will have more time doing
other jobs. For example, ordering food without the Internet often requires at least
1 hour, but with the help of online food apps, this process now only takes about 15
minutes for the food to be delivered to your house. As a consequence, Internet can
help people save a lot of time dealing with certain tasks. Moreover, the rising
usage of Internet supports residents a lot due to its convenience. People can
literally use the Internet everywhere using an electronic device, which is
beneficial for researching information as well as sending messages or making phone
calls. Because Internet provides a wide range of latest information, it can solve
many problems of citizens. Therefore, people will be able to work more effectively,
making significant process. For example, people can order a pizza through an online
app and they will get it no matter where they are. As a result, people can benefit
from Internet's widespread in many situations.
To conclude, Internet does harm to people's physical health but it is very fast and
convenient. In order to diminish its demerit, people should limit their daily time
in front of the screen and try to go outside regularly.
