7. INTRODUCTION
Stating ideas involves plenty of considerations when it comes to
message delivery especially in the written form where every word said
can be reviewed and assessed. Sometimes, what we want to say may
come out differently depending on the words used, arrangement of the
writing, and simple punctuations and capitalizations. Hence, the need for
editing and rephrasing may come in handy for our true message to be
delivered flawlessly.

75. Problems of Internet
On an individual level, the internet can cause a lot of problems-one of the
most significant being procrastination. Procrastination is the habit of postponing
a task indefinitely. Social Media platforms such as Facebook and other similar
sites, are to be blamed as it is easy to get sucked into them. countless hours
could disappear if the user does not keep track of time.
However, the internet is not all bad. There are many other things that you
can learn. For instance, a technical subject such as Physics can be better
understood through the help of videos. Abstract subjects such as Mathematics
are understood better through the help of websites and forums dedicated to
explain the concepts better.
In conclusion, the Internet is like a double -edged sword. It can be a great
boon if used in the right way. It provides valuable knowledge and resources to
better yourself. However, it can also be easy to distract yourself and waste
countless hours of your time.
