series of sentences after colon

Hi,

Is it acceptable to write a series of sentences after colon as an explanation of the first sentence?

For example,

Internet has changed our life: (first aspect in a complete sentence), (second aspect in a complete sentence), third, and fourth.

Thanks.

You can't join separate sentences by just commas.
The simplest choice is to just use periods.

It would be helpful to our discussion.if you provided actual sentences.
