Psychology of the Internet

Nowadays Social psychology focuses on Web world, and how that affects people. They are studying how people are covering their imperfection in face-to-face communication and add socioemotional expressiveness to their online personas. This is possible if they are on the Internet. Many people in the world have their online profiles in social websites. Most of them use it to find friends or sometimes even more! We are tending to show our better side more often then the ugly. That means we have to lie about our personality. That isn’t very good, because if we try to meet friend we have added while using Internet in real life, we can disappoint him, since he will think about us not as we are. Moreover, this problem affects young children even more. There are a lot of children who are playing computer games and often they forget who they are in reality and morph into the character of virtual world. What is more, there is a lot of aggression and violence in the Internet. The fact that most of the posts and messages are made anonymous lets people to be unpunished for their critics or aggression. I call them Cable Knights.  Also a lot of children are able to watch pornography in their early age which strongly affects their mind and most of the sexual acts they see not as they should do. On the other hand there are a lot of people who can stand for Internet because they have found lots of friends.

All in all, Internet should be used properly; young children should be monitored by their parents. Internet can help us lengthen our work or make it easier to communicate with an old friend who lives far away.
