Wilfing on the internet is becoming a real problem. It describes what happens when you spend a lot of time on the internet without doing anything in particular. A new report has shown how computer users waste up to two days a month on the internet. Most of the people who are interviewed said they were distracted all or most of the time when they work or study online. The study shows that the internet can be bad for relationships because most teenagers who spend too much time in front of their computers keep away from communicating with the family members. This situation causes arguments, most of the time, with their parents. On the other hand, some teenagers like to use the internet only for a short time after finishing their studies. Although the internet has made the world better, but you have to be aware of the bad effects of the internet on people. Therefore, it's better to set a time limit for being on the Internet playing video games or even surfing for some information. Arranging our time makes us successful individuals in life. Luckily, there is a simple answer to this problem: "Get off the computer and get on with your life" .
