With only a click, they can find information for anything they want, resulting in the laziness and more seriously, many unpredictable diseases.

In addition, today more and more students have become addicted to the computer. They waste too much time playing games or chatting over the it. To make the matter worse, there are many unsuitable programs for students on the internet that can affect their personality to a great extent. Secondly, since the invention of computers, employment has become a great problem all over the world.

However, at the same time, we should use it in an intelligent way to keep fit and to make our life more meaningful
