Internet is one of the most important things in our lifes. An average person is online 13 hours a day. Internet helps you do everything while you are laying on your bed. On Internet everything is one click away.

Internet has effected our lives in many ways. Now, we can read newspapers online, shop online without trying out any of the clothes we buy. In my opinion it sounds wrong to shop clothes online. Every company makes their sizes different. When I am shopping I would like try on the stuff I am buying. I understand buying books, magazines, electronics online. They are cheaper online. You don’t need to drive miles from store to store to find the book you need for the cheapest price. The internet saves us a lot of money but at the same time it makes people lazy.

If an Average person is online 13 hours a day. It only leaves them 11 hours to do other stuff. Researchs say people should sleep at least 8 hours to rest well. So this leaves only 3 hours per person everyday to do something instead of being online or sleeping. Another research says that in 1970 the obesity was %14. In 2010 its %38 percent. So these researchs can tell how unhealthy and unsocial people are becoming.

People thinks having a lot of friends on facebook means they are social, No its not. How many of them do you really know? How many of them have you ever talked to? Do you ever hang out with a friend you found on facebook? People used to hang out everyday in 1980s and had so many real good friends. In nowadays people have a lot of good friends but a little real friends and only hang out on the weekends.

With Social Networks like Facebook, Myspace have being violating personal privacy for years. If you don’t change your setting anyone can find you on the Social Networks and use your name, address, birthday and even your pictures. A new feature on Facebook Iphone app is that you can go to people you don’t knows profiles and save their pictures to your Iphone.

Some other advantages of Internet is that you can get help with your homework. Learn new things, Watch videos of your interest, Listen to music. So internet has both advantages and disadvantages. I wrote all this but I don’t know what I would do without Internet.

- there are reasons to draw a line between what science can and should do.
-When news came out of China eight years ago that scientists had created embryonic rabbit-people, the size of German newspaper headlines was as huge as the public outcry.
-Many saw the Chinese experiments as an attack on human dignity, while some people defended the Chinese saying that they were an important step on the road to finding new ways of treating illness.
-Animal welfare aspects aside, there is little to be said about such research. A few human cells in its body is not going to turn an animal into a human, not by a long shot. Countless human patients today have heart valves taken from pigs, and this in no way subtracts from their humanity.
-Some people thought experiments with apes will be necessary because, ethically, direct human experimentation cannot be justified.The experiments will not cause apes to have any new ideas, because there’s nothing human about their nerve cells
