On the one hand, some argue that staring at a screen is causing us to not be able to focus on things as well and is causing us to waste our time. On the other hand, other people contend that the internet is not a waste of time as we are using our time doing things we enjoy. My own view is that the internet is actually having the opposite effect on people, and is causing them to focus more.

My own view is in agreement with Goldsmith’s.
