4 . At the present time, the Internet is a major part of our lives. It’s always in our hands or pockets. Whatever we are doing is somehow linked(连接) to the Internet. We start finding our connections online as well, which is quite impressive. We find a person on a social media platform (社交媒体平台),see we have a shared interest and start chatting!
Online friendships in the past were doubted and not considered reliable because you didn’t know who was behind the screen. But now, when we can go shopping online, clear bills in online banks, and virtually attend schools, why can’t we find some real friends online?
With online friends, there are several advantages. When we find something catchy in someone — the very first quality of our online friend, we only then encourage ourselves to find ways to talk to them. We can share with them our everyday things, and what’s better than texting our friends our secrets? We can be present together with them on interested forums(论坛). We can share looks just through a click. And the best part is that we can shoot them a real quick message whenever we need their expert advice.
With all these strengths of an online friend, also come some weak points which make some people afraid to find their friends online. Some people believe that the person they are talking to on the screen is not real or trying to get information about their private life. They feel uncomfortable sharing and chatting with a person who they’ve never met in real life. Another problem that comes in the way of online friends is hanging out. People can’t really hang out with their online friends. The other problem is miscommunication, which sometimes leads to the end of a friendship.
Despite all these problems, online company is a perfect form of relationship between two or more. After all, we would notice these problems in any other kind of relationship or friendship. Miscommunication or a trust issue is always present even in face-to-face communication.

5 . Millions of people go online each day only for fun or to pass the time. Besides the list of things like books, music, movies and televisions, you can now add surfing the Internet as a primary way of entertainment and passing the time.
So how many people actually use the Internet today? According to some reports, about 40% of the world’s population has a connection with the Internet. That’s a huge increase from only 1% in 1995.
The number of Internet users continues to grow. In 2005, the number of Internet users was more than one billion. Just five years later, that number doubled to over two billion. In 2014 that number passed the three billion mark!
Today, about 75% of all Internet users live in the top 20 countries. The other 25% are spread out amongst the remaining countries. The country with the most Internet users is China with over 640 million users. The total is more than the next three countries—the United States, India and Japan—combined.
Of all those billions of Internet users, a large part of users are children. From computers in schools to mobile devices, children are growing up in a connected world. Studies have shown that over 75% of children spend more than two hours each day of “screen time”, which means time is spent in front of a computer or mobile device.
Too much “screen time” can be harmful to children. For example, too much screen time has been linked to many problems, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol（胆固醇） and overweight. What’s more, school-age children who use a computer more than two hours per day are more likely to have emotional, social, and attention problems. Thus, if you’re one of the 75% that spend more than two hours per day in front of a screen, consider cutting back and getting outside to enjoy the natural world.
