　　2. What are the negative influences of the Internet on children?

　　While the Internet exhibits its obvious advantages in our daily life, it also has many seriously negative influences on children. To begin with, children, unlike adults, usually adopt an indiscriminate attitude toward what they get from the Internet, most of which promotes violence, pornography, or immoral practices. What’s more, indulgence in Internet games or online chatting not only does harm to their physical health, but also inhibits them from developing feelings of security, compassion and diplomacy in real life.
