　　With the advent of internet, people in growingnumbers are getting addicted to logging onto theinternet out of various purposes, which has arouseddeeply social concern. Therefore, the issue ofwhether the bills of using the Internet should be paidby the government or the users themselves has beenopen to debate. In my opinion, it is morereasonable to require the individuals to cover the fee of internet usage, with the reasons asfollows.

　　To begin with, the users of the internets are supposed to pay the bills in order to relieve thefinancial burden of government. With the popularization of the internet, the number of peoplegoing online every day has increased to a lot, which means that the money spent on theinternet is tremendous. Such a large sum of money can do nothing but occupy a greatpropotion of the governmental expenditure, thus cutting down on the investment ofgovernment on other more pressing fields like improving the public transportation anderadicating the poverty. By contrast, if the fee of internet usage comes from the wallet of theindividual, the situation will become totally different. To illustrate, the abundant financialresources of government saved by this practice can better facilitate the economic developmentand render the life of the mass more convenient and comfortable.

　　In addition, requiring the individuals to pay for the bill of internet access will help to establishbetter social relationship between people. As is common sense, with the wide application ofelectronic devices boosted by easy access to the internet, people especially younsters areindulged in the cyber or virtual world created by the social network and various Apps on thecell phone. Consequently, it is not uncommon to observe that when a group of white collarssit at a table in a restaurant waiting for their meals, they watch the screen of their smartphones instead of interacting with the guys near them, which greatly alienates the bondbetween them. In this case, the free use of internet will aggravate this situation to a largeextent. However, if the fee of the internet usage is covered by the individuals instead of thegovernment, many people will be reduce their time spent in surfing the internet in order tosave money. As a result, the face-to-face communication will become more frequent and thusthe closer and more intimate relationship between people will be set up.

　　Factoring the above listed reasons, it is safe to conclude that the government should not offerinternet access to all of citizens at no cost, in order to relieve financial burden of thegovernment and to build a better rapport between people.
