Flashback: Why I thought the internet was evil?

Another one of my Xanga entries: Why I think thought the internet was evil?
Internet is EVIL, don’t you think?
1. It’s a huge temptation. I need not cite examples why did I say so.
2. It’s time-wasting. Imagine?! You were just chatting with some friends, posting on message boards, blogging, and visiting some sites and then you suddenly came to your mind, cursing yourself because you already spent 7-straight hours in front your PC. “Stupid! It’s our session tomorrow yet I didn’t bother to read some of our topics. Study now, bitch!” But when you scan your books and encounter some boring words, especially those that requires you to get a dictionary and search them up, you’ll feel sleepy. Sometimes, unknowingly because maybe your eyes are tired, you fall asleep that when you woke up, you were late for school already!
3. It’s costly. One of our parents’ monthly habits are nagging about the internet bill, especially when you’re using broadband connection. You can still hear the voice of your mom, half-yelling, “Because of this, *holding the bill* you’ll have a 10% less from your allowance.” But it’s fine with us, as long as we have internet connection. We can endure the nagging and a less from our allowance but we can’t endure the thought that we’ll be offline for months.
4. It ruins some lives. When you have ample time, why don’t you try visit some internet cafês, you would think for a moment that you’re at a war zone. But all you see are students, busy clicking the mouse, playing Counter-Strike.
In conclusion: Yeah, internet is evil. But it’s within us if we submit ourselves to it’s domination.
These were my views when I had difficulty dividing my time between studying and blogging. This was during the peak of my blogging addiction. 
But now I learned the benefits of internet, I think I should post an entry about “Why I think think the internet is good?”
