10 из 14 Оценка эксперта внизу
The question of whether using web sites can be harmful to the young will always be controversial. Although many people think that there is no danger in browsing the Web, others claim that it can cause problems.
In my opinion, browsing web sites cannot hurt teenagers. Firstly, some browsers can block inappropriate content, so teenagers will not see things that can hurt them. For example, there will be no cruel advertisements.
It means that browsing the Web is safe enough. Secondly, nowadays, the Internet is the greatest resource for information. It is the best way of self-education, and teenagers need this for achieving their goals. So, browsing the Web can be even beneficial for the young, so it does not cause much harm.
However, not all people are ready to share my point of view. They consider using the Internet as a harmful thing for teenagers. The young spend excessive time looking at their computers. It ruins their health and cognitive functions of their minds. Moreover, some sites can be dangerous. For example, teenagers can be deceived. They can buy something or donate money just because they are naive. So it can be detrimental for them.
I cannot fully agree with the statement above. If the Internet is used for communication or self-education, it can be harmful to people's minds. It can improve their skills. Additionally, most teenagers are better computer users than adults, so they do not believe in the fraud they see on the Internet.
To sum up, I consider browsing the Web not as deleterious as it may seem.
