The internet is very useful and if used correctly can be quite fun as well. I can see where the parents are coming from as the internet can use up peoples time, and make them sit on a computer for hours at a time. In that way it is not good. In other ways it can make you creative. Building a website, talking to friends etc. I think overall it is a good thing.

In some ways internet is bad but in others it's an information highway. I get so much information from the internet for my pregnancy and many other things. Its also an easy way to stay connected to friends. I do spend too much time on here. Alot of kids today spend more of their time inside. Where as when I was a kid we were always outside and never wanted to come in. Then again the world is becoming more of a dangerous place. So would you rather your kids safe at home on the internet or would you rather having to worry what they are getting into out in the world. Peer pressure is a big thing parents need to worry about. Not only that but the people who do crazy things in this world to kids. So its hard to say. For me I would rather my kids being safe at home.

Internet is useful if we use it correctly.If we misuse ,it will spoil our life.But students dont misuse it and they waste their time and hence parents say that internet is spoiling their children.
