"Blessing or distraction: The Internet in a Student’s Life"

Blessing:

Smart Studying: From Google to AI tools, everything you need to understand tough subjects is just a click away.

Learning Beyond Books: Students can watch videos, attend online classes, or explore career skills not taught in school.

Global Connectivity: You can connect with teachers, classmates, or even experts across the world for help or projects.

Distraction

Endless Scrolling: Hours lost on reels, memes, and gaming affect focus and sleep.

Reduced Attention: Constant notifications break concentration during study time.

I often wonder whether or not I’d have been more productive with no of these distractions on the internet, but I’ve additionally discovered plenty through YouTube clips as well as virtual courses, the information I’d never discover in a textbook. For me, the most valuable element is that I’m able to answer my questions or doubts promptly, and the most detrimental aspect is just how easy a quick check on the phone could turn into an entire day lost.

It’s absolutely true! Everything has two sides. Technology can be a blessing or a distraction—it all depends on how we use it. If we set limits and use it wisely, it can really help us a lot. There’s so much useful information online that can boost our learning, skills, and knowledge. Balance is the key.

The internet is a double-edged sword for students. It offers vast knowledge, online classes, and global connectivity, making learning easier and faster. However, excessive use can lead to distractions, reduced focus, and addiction to social media or gaming. Striking a balance between academic use and mindful browsing determines whether it becomes a blessing or a burden.

Wonderful topic to be discussed!90’s kids got exposed to screen time after a period only. But today, even kids are watching tv or cartoon for hours, instead of playing in the ground or outside their homes. Also real life interactions are less for them. Harsh truth!
