The internet

Now we all think the internet is a wonderful thing, but is it? It certainly makes life easier for businesses and school work. Information is avaliable easily and anyone can access it.


Problems start to arise when people take advantage of the internet. For example some people use it for scams or to harm others. In the news recently there was a story of a young girl who went into one of those chat rooms and 'fell in love' with this guy in America. So thinking all was nice and fine she arrangd to meet him when he was in England on holiday and...he turned out to be a horrible dirty old man. Now i'm not saying all people on the internet do this but it is incredible how much the internet has affected us.


In this university the internet is used alot. Now people like me hate this as i do not have access to the internet at home so it's a real pain, but alot love it. It's even got to the point where pen and paper are becoming redudant. Forshame.


I'm not against the internet - i love it - i just think it is way to relyed on in this day and age. And as i write this (on the internet) i wonder what do you think? You see - we're not discussing topics in class face to face - it's all on the computer. Ah the digital age
