The Importance of Internet to Our Daily Life. Today the Internet is the most powerful tool
in the world. TheInternet is a collection of various services and resources. ... Internet has
played an important part in our daily life, and in fact, it brings us lots of advantages, and the
first I want to mention is communication ..

Based on a recent survey of Internet traffic, the 10 most popular uses of the Internet in
descending order of use are:
1. Electronic mail. At least 85% of the inhabitants of cyberspace send and receive
e-mail. Some 20 million e-mail messages cross the Internet every week.
2. Research.
3. Downloading files.
4. Discussion groups. These include public groups, such as those on Usenet, and
the private mailing lists that ListServ manages.
5. Interactive games. Who hasn’t tried to hunt down at least one game?
6. Education and self-improvement. On-line courses and workshops have found
yet another outlet.
7. Friendship and dating. You may be surprised at the number of electronic
"personals" that you can find on the World Wide Web.
8. Electronic newspapers and magazines. This category includes late-breaking
news, weather, and sports. We’re likely to see this category leap to the top five in
the next several years.
9. Job-hunting. Classified ads are in abundance, but most are for technical
positions.
10. Shopping. It’s difficult to believe that this category even ranks. It appears that
"cybermalls" are more for curious than serious shoppers.

Internet Addiction & Health Effects

BY ANNA COCKE AUG. 14, 2017
The Internet has become an integral part of many people's work and personal lives.
The number of people online daily has nearly doubled over the past decade,
according to research conducted by the Pew Internet and American Life Project.
While internet addiction as a specific disorder was being debated for inclusion in the
American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders as of 2010, treatment centers already exist throughout the U.S. and
abroad, including China, Taiwan and Korea.

Physical Effects

Internet overuse can lead to sedentary lifestyles, weight gain and a decline in
physical fitness. Other symptoms can include carpal tunnel syndrome, dry eyes,
migraine headaches, a decline in personal hygiene and back aches, according to
Maressa Hecht, founder of Computer Addiction Services and a member of the
Harvard Medical School.

Depression

Depression has also been linked to Internet overuse by researchers at the Institute
of Psychological Sciences in Leeds, UK. Researchers found that study participants
who exhibited signs of Internet overuse engaged disproportionately than the normal
population in sites devoted to pornography, gaming, social networking and chat
rooms. They theorized that Internet addicts' use of these sites as replacements for
real-life socializing was resulting in depression. However, there is debate as to
whether depression results from, or is a cause, or internet overuse. A study
published in the "Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine" found depression,
as well as ADHD and social phobia, to increase the chances of excessive Internet
use in adolescents.

Sleep Disturbances

Evidence also suggests that internet overuse can contribute to sleep disturbances.
Studies of Chinese and American children, published in the "Journal of Sleep" and
the "Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics," found that computer use
among adolescents was associated with later bed times, later waking times, less
restful sleep and an overall decrease in sleep. The use of computers before bedtime
has also raised concerns among sleep experts, including Phyllis Zee, a
neuroscience professor at Northwestern University, that the light from screens is
affecting circadian rhythms and possibly contributing to insomnia.

Internet is the most important source of information. ... For those up to 45 years old,
the internet has the dominant position as a source of information while theinternet plays
only a modest role for pensioners. Here, traditional media, TV, radio and newspapers are the
most important.
Here are some of the best of today's and the worst of yesteryear's Internet.
