AGAINST
Its necessary to make it clear that people think
and analyse things differently. Negative people will always choose to utilise the bad side while positive people will see the good side or uses of things. To me the internet has positive influence on the youths.

The internet is used by the youths for educational purposes. Youths can easily access books online and research specific topics of interest. This has made education and research of the youths easier.
The internet is also used by youths for socialisation and communication. The internet has made it easier to stay in touch with old friends and family and also make new friends no matter where they are in the world.
With increase in population of graduate youths in the job market, the internet has provided a solution by online job search and even online jobs to aid the youths. Many youths now work from home through the internet and others trace job offers and even end up having good jobs through internet links.
With this world becoming a global village, and travelling becoming more popular, internet has solved the problem of going to agencies for booking of tickets for planes, trains and buses, now youths can book online.
With the internet, queues in the banks are no longer necessary since all bank transactions can be done at home through the internet thereby saving valuable time and energy.
The internet has increased the possibility for the youths to sell things through the internet thereby increasing their income. The internet market is so vast that it assures the sale of goods whether new or used.
The internet has also made it possible for the youths to search, compare prices and buy valuable goods from the internet and even have it delivered at your home a very moderate prices.
The internet has made it easier to spread information. Now with the possibility of whatsapp groups and facebook, an informatiob can be passed to a wide range of people at a short possible time.
Cooking has never been easier. With the internet, we do not need a cook book to be able to cook. We can google any name of food you want and you can even find videos on how to prepare the food on the internet.
The internet can be used as a medium to advertise events to friends, loved ones and well wishers, events like marriages, births, promotions and even deaths.
I can go on and on on how the internet influences the youths positively.
Thank you.

FOR - Great question;

I can't help that think that ultimately the internet is having a negative influence on children. The history of child-rearing is littered with examples of protectionism. Parents are the arbiters of their child's experience, the internet has completely and almost instantaneously eroded this. There are so many different levels this operates at. Of course, there are benefits that arise from communication and connection that stem from internet use. I think on balance it's a doing harm though.

There are benefits that coming from being able to delay gratification. it's a bargaining with suffering that allows us to learn routine and time management, it's the role of the parents to tailor this delay so as to produce productive children. The internet erodes the ability of parents to install this lesson, it's much harder to restrict internet than it is to stop children from playing outside. This represents a new autonomy in the development of children that when looked at with a consideration of the reality of the internet that appears quite dangerous. To me, it's more about disrupting the learning development of children and exposing them to advertisement and media from such a young age that worries me.

Children are being exposed to targeted advertisement is a new way, the TV was the first step in this direction but there's something more sinister about putting TV's in the hands of every child. It's an undermining of the authority of the parents, it's a big deal. Play a child's application game on any phone, you'll be disgusted by the frequency of targeted advertisement.

Peers have an absolutely immeasurable impact on children and their social development - we've always been cautious about the friend's groups our children make. It's a common trope, parents endlessly fretting about a bad actor the apple of their eye has befriended. Move this to the potential to connect with Billions of people with varying intentions.

TLDR:

Internet disrupts traditional and necessary parents methods
Undermines the authority of parents
Creates an inability to delay gratification
Takes apart any protectionism and replaces it with unbridled freedom (You wouldn't let a child wander aimlessly in an unknown part of town)
