Do you think slowing down the Internet would increase or decrease stress?

I think that this issue can be considered from different points of view. I'll start with a more global version.

Today everyone knows the word “Internet”. Even older people know what it is and are actively starting to use it.

The Internet is a worldwide network that has filled our lives and connected the whole world. Now, with its help, you can do almost everything: study, relax, work, engage in your favorite hobby, socialize, watch movies, read books and even plan your trips.

I propose to consider the current situation at this point in time. The coronavirus pandemic forced almost everyone to sit home for self-isolation. Slow Internet operation will make many employees and companies work slowly, online stores will work slowly, which means that the delivery service will also reduce the speed of work. What does that mean? The rhythm of our lives will also slow down. At the moment, the Internet affects our lives completely. A person experiences enough stress if the data transfer speed on the Internet decreases and we do not have the opportunity to view or find information or videos on a smartphone or computer. Never before have we had such free access to everything. Therefore, when we try to briefly distance ourselves from the World Wide Web, or simply the speed of the Internet slows down, life seems so slow and boring.

There is another perception of this issue is my personal one. I think that the slow operation of the Internet will not change my life, because most of the time I work outside it, I am a person in the creative profession. I use the Internet only for study and for information search. But sometimes it can scare me. For example, when I want to relax and watch movies or YouTube.

Nevertheless, summing up, I want to say that the Internet is a cool thing for a modern lifestyle, but it will not replace real life! And if we listen, we will realize that slowing the Internet can reduce stress in the present.
