Internet chat we lose something

Now it is the technology age, and we have a lot of new technology. Internet is already in our daily lives. We are using Internet for chat, sharing pictures and video. So Internet is very useful. People who use chat can talk with friends, and it is cheaper than sending text messages. This is a good idea for people to communicate, but this has some problems. Because of chat, students begin to be lazy and rude. They can use what they want in the online chat. Should we allow the students to continue using online chat? The answer to this question is real clearly ‘NO’. Students should stop using chat because it makes them lazy and rude.

The first reason we should not allow using chat is it will make students be lazy and have a spelling problem. According to Lee’s article, “Teachers say that paper are being written with shortened words, improper capitalization and punctuation, and characters like $& and @” (2002, para. 12-14). This is true; because students use chat all the time, now some students have problems writing a sentence and spelling. The news social communication is built on text message, and it is famous for young people. We need to stop students from using this, because they begin to be lazy and in the future they will be more different to write a sentence.

The last reason students should stop using text communication is that they begin to be rude. Internet is a free world for people, so you can say what you want there. So if they begin to use rude words online, and keep using them for long times, they feel it is ok to use them anywhere. “First of all, it is very rude, and it is very careless,” said Lois Moran, “Lee, 2002, paras. 12-14). Yes, it is true, because they use Internet all the time, so this causes them to use a lot of wrong spelling and make it simple, and online chat has no grammar and spell check, so you can do what you want. This is a big problem for students; they will be careless with any paraphrase, and in the future it will be hard for them to write a sentence. So this is the second reason we need to make students stop using online chat.

It is very clear that students should not be allowed to use online chat, because it makes them lazy and careless. Now this is a problem for most students, and chat is more famous than before, so more students use this communication method. And in Week’s article, he told us, “A recent survey by the College Board and Pew Internet and American Life Project found that most students say it is important to know how to write well, but a majority also said that Internet style language” (The fate of the sentence: is the writing on the wall? 2008,para.37). Students may know writing is very important, but they sometimes have difficulty choosing; Internet is very famous, so nobody wants to be laughed at other people, because of not using chat online. So this is the reason they will use chat, and more people will use chat. And we need do something and change something, or future students will have trouble writing a sentence.
