Internet

On the contrary we, as the opposition, believe that In our modern days, electronic world, we are surrounded by an unbelievable number of distractions. Just like cell phones, video games, television, the internet, DVDs, etc. Some of the interactions we have with these 2 dimensional devices are indeed people we know on the other end. However, many times, there is NO alive human on the other end of our distraction. It's completely fabricated. Many people are spending more of their lives away from other humans.

1.-There is no doubt that Internet is a good tool to have a first comunnication with another person, but it will never be enuugh to know a person completely and deeply and you have to use the 5 sences to meet people (Hear, See, Smell, Feel, Touch).

. For example take Catfish, the famous documentary, now a famous show. In that movie they showed how people lied about their real identities, to the point that the other person falls in love with them, makeing a lot of harm in this people. The succes of the documentary probes that a lot of people have passed throught the same identity falsification, specially young people. If we take this to the edge you can almost find criminals trying to cheat you by simulating to be nice people. Imagine a little girl chating with another little girl who ends beeing a criminal, just imagine the intentions of this guy.

2.-Again, I strongly believe that Internet is very useful, but not enough to take important conclutions about people neither in Business nor in personal life.

Another example in terms of Business. We have herarded a lot of examples of robery by simulating false oficial Communications from Banks, they asked you the password and they take out all your money. It will never be enough to know if the person is trustable and you cannot know the person who is behind the computer, till you have fisical contact.

3.-We agree that Internet is a great tool but because of this dangers face to face comunnication will never be replaced and Internet is only a complement to it. Lets not deify Internet, because humans will always be superior to the machines. Internet comunnication is Orly a beginning point, but face to face comunication will always be the last and most important way to take decitions.

Studies say that:

“Is modern technology minimizing social interaction?” 71% yes - 29% no (Study made by the page www.debate.org)

People are spending 2.7 hours per day in their cell phones, that means 18.9 hours per week, 75.6 hours per month, and 907.2 per year that is just like a month and a half per year, Orly using the phone (Study made by the Massachusetts Institute of Tecnology)

Technology may be helpful, but we all must be conscientious of how much time and energy we give to it and in turn take away from the humans in our lives.

Nothing
