Looking at Deep Thought Index# 16

The article ‘Internet addition: Too much time online’ discuss most of teenagers are addicted of Internet I personally believe that teenagers spend too much time online. According to the Kasier Family Foundation, kids age 8 to 18 now spend an average of 10hours and 45 minutes a day. So, they spend almost 75hours and 15minutes per week. It means they spend half of week with a internet. I think they spend more time rather than studying in school. For example, the school usually starts at 8:45 and ends at 3:00. So, we almost spend 7hours in school, but we spend 10hours with internet. Also, I think most of people use lots of time with ‘SNS’. For instance, I usually use Face book and Twitter. Even I’m studying, I usually log in Face book, so it means we spend lots of time with ‘SNS’. In my opinion, most of people use internet not properly. For example, most of teenager (male), they spend 4 hours to play online game. I think we need a internet shut down policy for teenager. For example, Korea government accept the “Teenager internet shut down policy.” They restrict the internet after 10 o’ clock. I think it will helpful to reduce the average time of internet usage.
