Recently, we are doing the research about the addiction to the computer. I gradually find that most of SM3 students including me are addicted to Xiaonei, which is a website like facebook. Students can leave messages to friends, write journals, make new friends or keep in touch with old friends, send images and do other things as well after they log in Xiaonei. I observe that when students connect with the internet, the first thing they will do is to log in Xiaonei to check the messages and so on.
There are different opinions of whether it is good to overuse Xiaonei. Someone says that it is a waste of time to spend much time on Xiaonei. It is really true that many people spend several hours on Xiaonei. Sometimes they may have nothing to do with Xiaonei, but just look at the website.
On the contrary, someone says they can benefit from Xiaonei. When they use Xiaonei, they can find some friends who were out of connection with them before. At the same time, they can know the recent developments and life of their friends by reading their journals and watch their photos. It is convenient for students to keep in touch with friends and make new friends.
In my opinion, if we can use Xiaonei appropriately, it is to be a perfect stage, in which we can make new friends, connect with old friends and also present ourselves. However, once you spend all your spare time on Xiaonei, it will affect your life and studying. So, we should learn to manage our time and be self-discipline. Addiction to Xiaonei is just a kind of wasting time. 
Well, I agree with your opinion. It actually offers us a stage to manage our friends and entertain ourselves. It meets our curiosity of new, amusing things and of course the secrets of our friends( by their journals). However, it is harmful to get addicted to it, especially for those who can not control themselves well. Anyway, when you are free, be relaxed. Do not have the feeling of guilty after looking through the webpages on xiaonei, as long as we can do well in dealing with the relationship between sduty and entertainment.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your opinion. It is more a matter of balance and how you manage your time. What is important is to use the technology to our advantage instead of being a slave to it.
