Internet - Boon or Bane

Unique communication by mankind  – stunning fountain of information
 Not the radio or television biox, it's the internet the greatest invention
 Gave living with people across the globe a new dimension
 Connecting one and all from every corner of the globe in unison

 Excitement and exuberance enthralled the users
 Information that flowed like the flooded inundated rivers
 Young and even the old seemed addicted to the chatter and blather
 A click of the button was the cliché – Lo life was filled with glamour

 Student projects seemed so much more real and achievable
 Business conferences didn't need counterparts to travel
 Mama didn't have to wrack her brain to cook a sumptuous meal
 Nor did Dad have to juggle with finances – seemed so surreal

 An email was the first giant leap – a novice beginning so meek
 Soon advanced to videos, gadgets and gizmos finally invented the geek
 Leaped into You Tube and facebook - then humble personal computing
 Found its friend in its miniature version –the mobile phone so eluding

 Alas! Misery Struck! The boon was soon transformed into a bane
 Addiction, cybercrime, depression a few acts  difficult to constrain
 The medium deemed “Hero” a few years ago was now christened
 A problem creator rather than a problem solver - the true villain

 Ironically history changed from the bright spectrum of positives
 Into bleak trust unfurling the dark pages of suspicion and negativity
 The dangers attached with the internet are so difficult to fathom
 Abuse and malice seemed the key factors to achieve teen freedom

An appeal –a sincere one to all out there especially dear students like me
 Beware! This invention should never ever cause doomsday for us to see
 Let's strive to keep our senses – hearing, listening and seeing creative
 Explore and not explode ourselves into this world – an act so imperative

 The adage says –It's never too late to make a new beginning
 Practice what we've read – lets go surfing – take care no drowning
 The internet is definitely a hero for all of us – in this tech savvy generation
 It's time to cherish our prized possession for posterity and our fortification
