The Internet is very broad for usage among people. Tasks can be conducted are researches, social networking, entertainment, and many more.
This part will be focused on Entertainment such as online video games. Online video games can mislead kids in severe consequences, for instance the term called "addiction". Online games are participated by people at all ages, but that depends on the fact whether their usage towards it are balanced with the real world. In relevant to kids however, majority do not know how it feels like in the outdoor world (work, hanging out with friends, marketing), thus when they find something interesting to do, they get attached in an instant. Therefore they will keep repeating it.
Ofcourse it is not wrong to pass time playing these games, thats the reason why gaming companies are upgrading their game's features and more complex; better graphics, more realistic characters, greater challenges, etc.
However, everything should be balanced out accordingly. Kids should also schedulize their time by maintaining their grade levels, balancing school activities, and most important which is family obligations. The thing is, when people get too attached with games, they tend to become anti-social. In other means, they communicate more with the games rather than socializing with people all around. This may lead to other severe negative consequences.
