The Internet has become more and more common and promised to change our life dramatically beyond emails and online shopping.

In the first place, the Internet provides an easy access to all kinds of information, which contributes to relieve us of laborious work, save our time, facilitate our lives. In the second place, the Internet has extensively reached every corner of the world, thus people are connected closely. For example, an on-line conference saves businessmen the trouble of running all over the world to have a meeting. Furthermore, the Internet offers us entertainment and other ways of relaxation, such as on-line games and on-line shopping.

However, on the other hand, some people debate that it is also inconvenient and a waste of time as well as isolating us from real life only with the company of computers. Some people fix the most sophisticated computer but can't mend a pair of socks.

Yet in fact, computer reduces the distances and demolishes all boundaries. Whether computer is a blessing or a curse depends on different circumstance and the way you use it. (190 words)

不过，从另一方面来说，有些人争论说互联网同时也不方便，浪费时间，而且只有电脑的陪伴，会使我们与现实生活隔离。一些人可以修理最复杂的计算机，却不能修补一双袜子。
