[00:01.84]As is subtly reviewed in the portrayal, a great many people are surfing online.
[00:08.17]Separated by the stretching spider web, these cyber citizens attempt to communicate with each other.
[00:15.66]Undoubtedly, the Internet exerts such a profound effect on our life,
[00:20.39]that it revolutionizes the way of people’s living and thinking.
[00:24.28]The exaggerative and impressive drawing has symbolically reflected the duality of the relationship between man and the Internet.
[00:33.55]The spider web epitomizes the Internet
[00:36.87]which is the most efficient contemporary media of interpersonal communication.
[00:42.16]People isolated from each other represent those net citizens
[00:47.54]who have lost the skill of face-to-face contact and get alienated from each other.
[00:53.95]The fact that people feel reluctant to contact others directly
[00:59.08]indicates that to some extent some people are too much addicted to the Internet to maintain a regular and wholesome lifestyle.
[01:07.96]Hence, it is necessary for us to use the Internet in a reasonable way and restrain from overindulgence.

[01:23.22]with the Internet, the computer will even let us communicate directly
[01:27.54]with people all over the world and with information sources worldwide.
[01:32.56]For another, as nearly all activities could be conducted in the comfort of our own homes or offices,
[01:39.27]we could all become hermit-like, never feeling any need to leave the computer.
[01:44.56]Accordingly, the challenge of the Internet means we should consider how we can use it, so that it won't control us.
