  1. We think this video give a message to the young people basically, that if you spend a lot of time in front of the computer you will lose you. We have to use it seriously only when is necessary. To much hours in front of the computer can get some consequences for your mental and physical health. It would be great that many people see this video to take conscience about the technology.

  2. We think this video is interesting because the teenagers expend a lot of time in Internet. There we saw what would happen if you used a computer when you didn’t use that in that moment. When you need some information or check your email is a good idea use internet. But not when you pass all the time there and do nothing important. A lot of teenagers sleep little hours and the next day they will be tired.

  3. We think that what happen in the video is true: only you know when to stop. The adolescent spend a lot of time in the computer without an interesting or an useful reason. At the moment young person know each other slant the monitor whit no human contact.
    They take a risk connecting with strangers or showing information or photos in social web pages.
    From now on we will have more care about the internet and the time that we spend on it.

  4. Well, I think what it’s a very good video. It makes you think about the things what happen around you and the world. It becomes you aware about the dangers what are on the Internet and the dangerous what is staying all day in front of the computer. This video try to transmit how lonely makes a person when becomes an addict with the computer, forgetting the REAL friends and relatives and spending valuable time.

  5. In our opinion, this commercial helps people to become aware of our relationship with the technology. The teens are being in the computer all time and all the day, because they haven’t got any sports, any activities, and any hobbies. So their life transforms in a fiction.

  6. Our opinion is that if we use the computer for a long time, it can damaged your mind and your relationship with your friends and your family because you think that you are communicated but in fact, at the same time this keep you away. We always have to have limits and be responsible with technology, so is good know how we have to use it. And this, after a long time, change your appearance.

  7. Our opinion is that the teenagers spend a lot of time surfing in the Internet and they don’t realize that this don’t let them do other thinks more important. The video is interesting, because it gives us a message like SPEND LOT OF TIME IN THE COMPUTER CATCHES US. When we are in front of the computer for many hours, it can hurt our health because harm our eyes.

  8. We think that the video shows the truth of the teenagers because they spend a lot of time in computers using the Internet. Nowadays everyone use Facebook that is a page where you can post photos, chat with friends, play games, etc. It can be dangerous because somebody you don’t know can see your things if you don’t have privacy.

  9. We think that the idea of the video is really good. Because it shows us how dangerous could be the use of Internet in excess. You can waste a lot of time using Internet and you don’t realize about that. There are a lot of better things to do.

  10. We think thet this video shows how the Internet vetches young people, because in the video, the boy enter into the computer and we understand about this that nowaday, people spend a lot of time with the computer.

  11. We think that the video shows us the real situation about the internet and young people using it a lot. We think when you are surffing
    on internet you lose time to do something else, like helping in your house,or doing homework. Being a lot of time in the computer
    hurt yourself, and make you an irresponsable person. Sometimes you also can fight with your family only for the computer.
    Conclusion, we agree with the video but we do it anyway.

  12. I think that this video can’t help young people to be conscious about the time that they spend in front of the computer; they will laugh and ignore it because they like surfing the internet, playing video games, commenting on facebook and things like that.
    The time spent isn’t the most important factor, the most important factor is the people you meet on the web. They are really dangerous, not the computer. Because of that, I think that people must create a video talking about the people you can meet on the internet, and suggest us to be careful about giving information on the web.

  13. From my point of view this video shows how much time teens are on the web. It makes you think you should spend less time surfing the web. Lots of people just use it as a tool, but some people think the internet is their life, and they forget about real life.

  14. In my opinion, the video is good because it shows that teenagers spend a lot of their time in the computer doing nothing important , they only use messenger and facebook.
    But with this video they can see that it’s not good if they spend all time in front of the computer and they can do more interesting activities.

  15. I like the video because it’s real. I think that we spend a long time in front of our computers everyday. We surf on the internet a lot of time, we play computer games, we chat and check our e-mails. Also, children play playstation 2 or playstation 3 and watch TV in their free time and they don’t realize the time we spend in front of the computer.

  16. My opinion

    In my opinion the video shows to the world that many hours on the computer is unhealthy for the people. It is interesting and educative for teens that are many hours in front of the computer. I am often on the computer for hours. Juani J5mB

  17. I think the video is very interesting because staying a long time on the computer is very unhealthy for your eyes and for your mind. The video reflects the life of teenagers they are on the computer for hours every day. The video is educative because they have a message “Don’t spend a lot of time in front of the computer”.
