We live in an era of instant gratification. Via cars, microwaves, or the internet, if you want it, it can be yours almost immediately. This is great for the pursuit of worthy endeavours, but can be a liability for those with an addictive personality. The internet is awash with information, but much of it is of an entirely useless or destructive nature. The opportunities to waste time in virtual pursuits are also a potential trap for many. It is all too easy to spend an entire evening boredly browsing, following friends, engaged in games, or surfing salacious sites. Yet we are trading valuable time for something of little or negative worth. It is important that society at large learns moderation and responsibility in regard to the use of internet and computers. It may be hard for those trapped by these addictions, but they can be overcome. As the computer becomes a larger feature of our daily lives, we must act responsibly in teaching future generations, and ourselves, how to seek the best things so we are both gratified, and edified.
