Internet appeared not so long ago, but now we can’t imagine our life without it. It has entered many spheres of our life and simplified it so much that we will refuse this invention under no circumstances. We use the internet in many ways: we communicate with people, even with those who live abroad; we share our knowledge, emotions, feelings and experience by means of blogging or microblogging; we find any information in less than a minute; plan our trips, book flight tickets, and hotels; purchase clothes and other items, too. In other words, we have a wide range of online activities which help us to get in touch with people, learn something new every day and be aware of all happening in the world. We have got used to this level of information accessibility due to which we feel more confident and free to express our viewpoint. However, the internet is not always a blessing as we become extremely addicted to it and may lose our communication skills. The fact is that we now tend to get stick to our smartphones and other electronic devices and neglect real communication. This may lead to loneliness and difficulties building real relationships with people. That’s why we should control the amount of time we spend online and not to forget about our families and friends. We won’t become closer if we keep in touch only virtually. The internet can be a blessing, but we should use it carefully in orde
