Whats up. i gotta write an illustrative essay for my english class. Im about half way done with it. Maybe a little bit less than that. ( its due wed.) TOMORROW i gotta turn it in for peer editing! Anyways the topic i chose was;
"The internet has resulted in a generation of lazy young people."
I am argueing against this statement.
So far i noted how young people have learned to use web programming languages to create content on the internet. I am also gonna site how the internet can be used for research , health , making friends, and interacting in politics.
I would LOVE to hear any suggestions that you might have. And any ideas that i might have missed. I was planning to site Dannychoo.com but im not sure how creative that might be. Since the content isn't user created. At least 99% of it. Well any suggestion will do? thanks.
I LL give you credit for any ideas i use! Thanks.

Well, here's my spiel:
I believe that the Internet has opened up a door to the world that many people would not have been able to experience otherwise. Instead of becoming lazier, our generation has developed into the most well-informed generation today because of the Internet. In addition, the Internet has proven to be a time and money-saving network; instead of spending gas money to drive to a bookstore, you can find the information on a reliable website online. In other words, it has improved our wellbeing by giving us a world of knowledge at practically no cost. :)
Hey thanks for the suggestion. Although i would not say its at no cost. I mean you still have to pay for internet connection. And if connect at school you still have to pay for the gas to drive there. Also comes the expenses of buying an upgrading your pc/laptop. But all in all i like your point. Personally i like going to bookstores. Something about the smell of books... and owning them.
@Guin: Hope I'm not too late!
First off, your essay should define "lazy" on multiple fronts~ physical, social, intellectual (which spans scientific, political, philosophical, etc), even spiritual. Then once u divide, u can conquer each subtopic. Good luck! ^_~
No problemo! Hehe I was inspired by you to post some writing too xD btw you should post the essay if you feel it's safe to.

Writings from various students analyzing sociology of the internet. A lot of the laziness is actually in social interaction. Meet and talk without having to get up and go outside.
