The future of cyberspace.
In the last thirty years, the Internet has grown dramatically. In 1983, there were only 200 computers connected to the Internet; now there are around 50 million and this growth is clearly going to continue.

Some experts are pessimistic about the future. One worry is the activities of cybercriminals. Even now, young hackers can get into the computers of banks and governments. In the future, cyberterrorists may attack the world’s computers, cause chaos, and make planes and trains crash.

However, many people are optimistic about the future of the Internet. Already, users can buy books, find out about holiday offers, book tickets, and get all sorts of information from the Internet. ‘In the next few years,’ says Angela Rossetto of Cyberia magazine, ‘it is clear that we are going to see an explosion of shopping on the Internet.’

She also believes that, in the future we will get entertainment from the Net and that television will probably disappear. The postal service may also disappear with the increasing use of e-mail.

Some specialists see our future in virtual reality - the use of computers with sounds and images that make you feel as if you are in a real situation.

Sport is one of the essential parts of a person's life. It helps us to not only gain
good health but gives our lives interest, enthusiasm and excitement.
Nevertheless, there are people who think that sport is harmful.

In my opinion, sport is good for the body because it makes you burn calories and
makes you increase your muscle mass to have a good body. Besides it helps to
person to make more organized and better disciplined, if he plays in a team
sport. Finally, it has psychological benefits by reducing stress.

However, there are some drawbacks of doing sports. Heavy workouts can be dangerous and
even lead to serious diseases, because it takes a lot of energy and could be
exhausting. Although it is very beneficial to do exercise regularly, abuse has
its downside because as a result you may get injuries or cardiovascular
diseases.

What is more, easy workouts bring a lot of benefits to health and they are very useful.
Besides, if you do sport with your friends it gives you more fun and pleasure.

To sum up, sport is a must if you want to keep yourself healthy. But it has to be said
that some physical activities may be even dangerous. That's why sports must be
done with carefulness and without too many efforts, which lead to diseases.
