Internet's fault?

Some people are very funny and they tend to make some cynical arguments. They won't think out of the box. They seem to live in their own little world and couldn't distinguish and appreciate to the advent of the Internet and the cutting-edge gadgets like a smartphone and a tablet computer.

In their own view, the Internet and electronic devices spawn more drawbacks than the advantages.

Like what? what is the problem? For example, read the statements shown below. These sentences were come from one Chinese article on Facebook.

"When your children / you can't manage your time and daily routine and you start to blame the Internet / the electronic devices?"

"You / Your child become(s) retard[脑残] and lazy because of Internet's fault."

"The Internet addiction disorder is one of the factor causing children to be a dumb."

"Children show a symptom of dumb behavior and lack of critical thinking if they rely too much on the Internet / the electronic devices."

what and what? Really? what's the logic?

According to the New York Times, a recent IQ test report shown that nowadays the average of human being's Intelligent has gone up significantly in this past 50 years. Human is getting smarter and smarter by time.

On the other hand, the counter-argument in this article is really weak. The main problem is yourself, your attitude toward these high-tech gadgets. Don't blame the Internet and these things do nothing if you don't addict to it.

In the article,  the author says the kids are too addicted to the electronic devices and this kind of behavior will directly affect their mentally development. Therefore, the author concluded that this was the Internet's fault.

Ahem? is this the Internet's fault or parent's fault? what's the point? who are responsible to take care their kids? Parents right? why blame the Internet?

As parents, parents must learn how to manage and take care their kids. For example, ah boy, you can play game with your tablet computer, but not more than 2 hours per day. Come on...

I really suggest the author, please don't use the fuck'ng Internet and high-tech gadgets because these stuffs really hurt you. Don't let these stuffs make you sad and depressed.

You have the choice for making your life better if you avoid yourself from these high-tech devices. Nobody forces you for using it.

Secondly, the Internet is harmless if you know how to organize your time properly and if you know how to mange your life.

Conversely, the Internet and these high-tech devices have made our life better and easier a lot than yesterday.

In fact, the bottom line is every era has its own issues. But how do you get adapt yourself to the advent of the high-tech gadgets is really depending on your attitude.

For example, my parents and my relatives use Facebook for long distant communication.

Back in 20 year ago, we didn't use the Internet. But 20 year after, today, we use it for many particular purposes. Doesn't that the Internet itself is harmful? No.

Mostly, useful.

Besides, you know how to use it and you must learn how to overcome the drawback. But not showing cynical views and throwing a tantrum about the high-tech technology because these stuffs made someone else to be retard.

If you(the author) always think negatively and avoid being positive and optimism about the future technology, surely one day you will get very depressed since the technology is keep changing now. Maybe even faster because of the advent of the Singularity.
