Chapter 11 Question # 3


The section about Internet was the most interesting to me this chapter for this weeks reading. This reading portion talks about how Internet affects our daily lives, what a large impact it has, and analysis social networking and the misusing of Internet. According to THINK by Judith Boss, “The internet is affecting daily life by reshaping social dynamics among young people” (353). I agree wit this because it really does have an impact on the way I communicate with others. Social networking is one of the biggest reasons students spend so much time on the Internet. Internet has both a good and a bad side. It is good because you are able to spread the word throughout Internet sites, such as yahoo news or ads. However, there is a downside. The Internet allows information to be so easily accessed. So many peoples privacy is stepped upon and are left with no privacy what so ever. Internet is an excellent type of technology; it just needs to be more secure so that it doesn’t invade privacy.

  1. Hello Shortie, I also agree with you when you say the internet is a good thing and a bad thing. I agree with how social networking can be a good and beneficial thing thing when it comes to meeting and connecting with people. But it is also a bad thing, when things get into people's hands that they shouldn't get to, it becomes very bad and harmful. It also is bad because it has made our youth into zombies. Too much on the internet is not good with socializing and actually meeting people in person. I liked this concept also this week and I also wrote about it. Thanks for your input it was very interesting. Keep it cool,
