SPEECH INTERNET EFFECTS

Andini Karlina CH XII IPA 3 26 Senior High School

Assalamu’alaikum Wr. Wb.

Good morning everyone. To the teachers who I respect, Ma’am Rosma and Miss Jatu and to my beloved friends, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity so I can stand here in front of you to give my speech. First of all, let's praise our dearest God, because without Him, we won't be here in this healthy state. Today, I would like to give a little bit of information that I’ve known about and I hope it’ll be useful for everyone. As we know, nowadays, Internet is very important for us. But, actually, what internet really is? The Internet is combined worldwide network of computers that form a global information network system. Internet originally used in military and university. But nowadays the internet used to communicate with people and even your view of life. Then what should we do to deal with it? Can we be only a fanatic of Internet or be an anti-Internet? There’s always two sides effects from something new, the positive, and the negative effects. The positive effects of the internet, well, I bet you can come up with many positive effects. Like, you can get the latest news on the web anytime everywhere. The information from all around the world is just a click away, thanks to the Internet. And it must be interesting if students make a good use of the web because, let’s face it, what teachers teach you is not always the latest thing. And you can always get an update from the internet. Not just information, Internet also can connect you to people around the world. For example, through facebook, we can easily find our relatives or old friends, or just random people from abroad. Or with Skype, not only we can chat with them, we can also meet and talk to them personally in 2D. How great was that. But don’t forget, anything good has it own bad things. Like, Illegal or inappropriate materials can be found in the internet. Internet also can reduce face to face communication. There are many instances where many students talk to each other on facebook but when they are in front of each other in reality, they act like they don’t even know each other and a lot of them choose to sit in front of their laptops and gadgets the entire day than to talk to real people. Internet makes us lazier. Like when the teacher give us an assignment, we choose to copy them from the web and this can reduce our thinking capacity. We just cram what’s given on the internet and sometimes we won’t even try to think wether the matter given is correct or not. Not just that, Internet can cause us insomnia, time wasting, addiction, cyber bullying, and inactivity

because we were to occupied with the internet that we don’t want to move even a single muscle from our body, you know where it’ll take you? Obesity. Yes, you’ll be fat. That’s why, we should prevent this internet addiction from now on while we still can. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I don’t like the internet, it’s good to know that the internet can connect us to anything and everything, but, we also have to be careful in using it and control ourself so that we’re not too occupied and immersed in it. Think first before we explore so that we won’t regret the effects in the end. I think that’s everything I know, I hope it can be useful for us, I’m sorry if I made some mistakes while talking or there’s some unappropriate words I’ve said, thank you for your attention. Assalamu’alaikum Wr. Wb.
