The Internet

The Internet can be a very helpful tool.  It is making us smarter because anything and everything is available at the click of a button.  If we want to learn how the pyramids were built, to cook your favorite dish, how to tie a tie you can simply do it by typing in a few words into a search engine. You can also use the search engines as a reliable tool for research projects such as who came up with the idea of NASA, or who came up with the idea of evolution.  If you want to learn the little details about people, places, and things that you would normally have to go to the library for, you can now do it from your home with the Internet.

Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites can make it difficult for individuals to accomplish certain tasks.  Everyday things that need to be done such as homework or paperwork for your job gets put off to the side because we are so caught up with these social media sites.  Posting statuses and tweets help keep us connected and sadly we have let that become more important than the essential tasks we need to get done for day to day life.
