The word online, for those who did not know means if you are on the internet, this can be on facebook, twitter, flickr,Linked In, sending e-mails etc.
The world has changed drastically in terms of technology in the last decade and one cannot think what you will do without the internet now a days.
Like any other things in life there are always consequences for your actions, you don’t necessary think about.
Some of the consequences of being online are:
1. You do not spend quality time with your friends anymore by talking to them on a telephone or visit them, because you chat on Facebook or Twitter. You might chat more often but because of the character limit your conversations are not necessarily be impactful or supportive that is it suppose to be.
2. A lot of young children cannot spell correctly because they have adopted an online language / spelling.
3. Many people forget that Facebook / Twitter is not necessarily private and the whole world (people that follows you or on your friends list) knows things you did not necessarily won’t to share with them.
4. You can lose your job, because of a statement you made about your boss or company.
5. You can think that you’ve met your dream man/woman online, but when you meet the person face to face you vow you are never going to date online ever again.
6. The internet server weren’t maintained or the system at work is offline; so you cannot work or serve clients. Outcome = everybody is angry and it is not your fault but nobody understands.
7. People become unproductive because instead of doing their work and meeting deadlines they browse the internet, chat on facebook or tweet the whole day.
8. Children’s social skills are under-developed because they don’t socialise with friends, they are happy just to sit in front of the computer play games on the internet.
9. Children don’t have good hand-eye co-ordination because they don’t do sports; they browse the internet for new games, downloading of music / movies.
10. You don’t delete the Website history on your computer and you girlfriend/boyfriend, husband, wife, mother or father finds out about what you are up to.
