Internet Cafe

Aziz ur Rahman

Technology if used properly can build a nation. Internet is the most useful tool in this day and age. It can provide information from every corner of the world. It can bring education, awareness and prosperity. But unfortunately the same technology can bring the downfall if used inappropriately.

I am a student from Mardan. I have seen many cities of our sweet homeland but not a single city can match Mardan. Its culture and environment is great. Here I have observed that people respect each other, like each other and they have so many other valuable qualities.

But recently I have found one thing which is very dangerous and is destroying our young generation. This is the misuse of "INTERNET" in "INTERNET CAFES". I have seen a good number of internet cafes and I feel that every one who uses the net is well aware of the fact that what is going on in these cafes.

If we observe the activities of these cafes closely we will find that these affect the character of many individuals and particularly the innocent students who can not quantify these ill effects. Gradually they destroy their careers, become a headache for the parents and the society as a whole. I don't have words to explain the effects of these things.

Whose Responsibility is it to stop this nuisance?

It is a difficult problem to control but the law and order makers can play some role.

1. Every net cafe should put computers in open. They shall not make hidden rooms.

2. Every net cafe must be run by an educated person and internet qualified individual.

3. Net Cafe administrator must identify users.

4. A written warning about the misuse of internet shall be displayed in the café.

5. A written warning about the misuse of internet shall be displayed in the café.

6. The administrator shall promote some positive awareness among the people.

After all education and awareness is the most important tool to stop the misuse of the internet.
