LIFE WITHOUT THE INTERNET WOULD IT MAKE OUR LIVES BETTER OR WORSE?

This article examines whether life without the Internet would make our lives better or worse, based on classroom observations made by a teacher at a Khamid Olimjon and Zulfiya creative school in Jizzakh. Through daily interaction with students, the author observes how deeply the Internet influences learners’ study habits, communication styles, creativity, and attention spans. The paper reflects on both the advantages and the hidden drawbacks of constant online access, including dependence on digital resources, reduced face-to-face communication, and shortened concentration. At the same time, it considers how the Internet supports independent learning, global awareness, and access to authentic educational materials. By comparing students’ behavior during online and offline activities, the article explores whether removing the Internet would improve focus, social interaction, and critical thinking, or limit opportunities for growth and knowledge. The study concludes that while the Internet is an essential educational tool, balanced and mindful use is necessary to prevent overreliance and to preserve meaningful human interaction and deep learning.
