The internet is an interconnected network found in gadgets which provides information and enables easier communication. In this essay, I will state my reasons as to why the internet should only be accessed by people over the age of 18.
Children are easily influenced. Adults might be able to manipulate these innocent young minds. Children might not be able to differentiate morally correct actions and acts that aren’t. They are very gullible and would believe the most unbelievable things.
There is disgusting content on the internet. Kids might stumble upon horrid things. After looking at vulgar content, they would think differently. They would start to do the same horrible actions. Kids would start to believe that these actions are okay to do.
There are other forms of entertainment such as television, books, sports and many more. Television is a good substitute for younger kids because children TV channels tend to have the same content as ones on YouTube and such. Books are great for older kids as they can range from informative encyclopedias to fantasy novels.
In conclusion, children could learn terrible things on the internet. They could also turn out to be horrible adults in the future because of that. Children’s innocence should be preserved. There are other forms of entertainment that children can consume.
