I have seen from a widely known magazine a cartoon of two dogs in front of a computer. One dog explains to the other dog: “On the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog.” It is a very sad reality. There are so many people with bad intentions behind the Internet. 😢

Thus, we should be very cautious with our Internet usage.

True, if used wisely, the Internet can undoubtedly save us time, funds, and energy. Looking back, it takes a long time for a snail mail to come, but now we can chat with them or even video call them with just a click. We can communicate with our family and friends from far away. We can also conveniently buy something without leaving our homes. Online banking and bills payment, has made my life easier; I don't have to waste my time on the endless queues. The Internet also provides essential tools to work out a convenient itinerary for a trip we may be planning and helps us make the necessary bookings. The list of the things that we could do can go on.

However, there is a dark side to be considered--the amount of time that using the Internet may consume. I should always keep in check if I am already spending excessive amount of time playing, chatting, searching, and surfing. Because, these eventually, is a catalyst that I could neglect the more important things involving family, friends, and my precious relationship with Jehovah God.

For me, there's nothing wrong to use the internet as long as I am keeping my balance, and not neglecting the more important things.

"Make sure of the more important things."

--Philippians 1:10.

I am looking forward that I would perfectly know to balance my time and spend it wisely.
