The Internet and Other Addictions

Hello, everybody! In this post I'm going to be talking about the Internet and other Addictions which is the first theme discussed in class.

This is one of the most interesting question the teacher made, what is addiction for you? Despite so many answers, I still remember the following definition "it's “something you do that controls you and cause you anxiety and even when you know it is dangerous, you cannot stop doing it"”.

I cannot even define Addictions in other words. The internet nowadays has become one of the biggest addictions. That'’s very evident, we can see how it has damaged marriage relations or has broken family relations. Cyber-friends  has become very popular in those days because online communication has made much more efficient by using internet which includes; smart phones, tablets, computers, and other electronic devices.

This century is considered the Era of Technology, that'’s why we shouldn't discard the idea of eliminating face to face communication as have been happening in some societies.

Look at the pictures below for a while and think about them while you read the post and observe the images.

Adverb Clauses of Result: Adverb clauses of result with such...that and so...that present the result of a situation that is stated in the first clause. Let see this: If I say "It was so cold today", I have a simple sentence, but if I add "that we couldn't go out" I have an adverb clause of result. As simple as that! In simple words an adverb clause of result is a simple clause that point out the consequences that brings "the action" we are talking about. I have to say I use this grammar point when talking, but I never thought I was using "Adverb clauses of result". In addition, I did it wrong in the midterm, but at least now I know what the professor was talking about on it.
