about the

2:08

benefits of the internet the internet

2:11

is one of the most important inventions

2:16

it changed the world before the internet

2:20

there were fewer ways to communicate

2:23

with people who were far away

2:26

you could call them on the phone or

2:30

you could write them a letter i remember

2:33

writing letters when i was a kid

2:36

but nowadays most people don't write

2:40

letters anymore we write emails

2:43

or we send text messages

2:47

thanks to the internet we can send

2:50

messages instantly so

2:53

communication is faster and easier

2:57

nowadays many people can have

3:00

long distance relationships because of

3:03

the internet

3:04

you can talk to your boyfriend or

3:07

girlfriend

3:08

for free using skype or other apps

distance relationship nowadays it's

hard of course but the internet

3:22

makes it a little easier another

4:07

things

children can find anything online

4:18

another negative thing is that people

every day on the computer we

4:32

should spend more time outside
