The Problem Of The Internet

The article "The Internet: A Clear and Present Danger?" written by Cathleen Cleaver is a clear claim of the necessity of government regulation to control what is being shown on the Internet. To support her claim, Cleaver gives the pornographic web sites as an example. She argues that the regulations used to control the selling of pornography applied to porn stores, magazines, and television should also be applied to the Internet. The reason for such necessity is that it is impossible to control who is actually accessing such web sites. Following this reason, Cleaver's main claim in the article is that children can access pornographic web sites on the Internet. This claim is clearly stated by

Beyond a shadow of a doubt, the invention of the Internet is one of man’s greatest and most spectacular endeavours. For, it has truly revolutionalized the world in regards to how we engage in business, recreate, socialize, educate ourselves and communicate with each other. The Internet eliminated all impediments of conventional methods of operations. Through its construction, the world economies have flourished. Therefore, it can be said in a nut shell, that the Internet has made life on earth ‘easy’ to say the least; but to what expense?

On August sixth 1991, the world wide web had become available to the public. When the internet was first public there was little to nothing one could do with it. Since then, the internet has flourished into one of the biggest roles in society. It is something that is prevalent in everyday life whether it is for work, school, vacation planning, shopping, online dating, etc.. It is hard to imagine a world without the internet especially if one has grown up with it. As impactful it has been some say that the internet is detrimental to today's people and society, but there is only little truth to that. In reality the internet helps people, and has more advantages than disadvantages contrary to the popular belief that they hinder the person. The internet actually helps promote creativity, and overall health.

I agree with net neutrality because the internet has became such an important impact on our lives that its very very easy to imagine that it will always remain the free and open medium it is now. For those whose don’t know what net neutrality is , it basicially lets you watch all your videos and allow you to get on the internet for free. Other people tend to agree with having not to pay for all of our websites. While others , including me , who does agree with what may or may not happen. Most people can’t afford a simple bill for cable , so why would you want to pay for every website that you go on, like Youube. We all love watching our free YouTube videos, but imagine having to pay for getting on the app or watching in via web. It would be a pain having to do all the paper work just to pay for everything you watch. If the internet wasn’t free than its really not the internet if you really think about. The internet gives u so much information that everyone should be allowed to see. If we were to pay for the internet , we wouldn’t know as much as we do right at this very moment. Every cell phone company and the internet would have control on what you can watch and what you cant watch which is not right because we have the rights to do what we want and we should be able to go on any website we want to. Net neutrality also affects everyones freedom of speech which is unacceptable for the people who want to speak out about how they feel about things, saying their own

The internet has become the important part of the world; from instant messages through communicating, and emails, banking, travelling, studying and shopping, internet has touched every aspect of life. With the increasing use of the internet by people, protecting essential information has become a necessity. A computer that is not having appropriate security controls can be affected with malicious logic and thus any type of information can be accessed in moments. Number of affected Web Pages and malicious websites can be seen every day that affects the computer and allow hackers to gain illegal access to other computer systems.

The Internet has been around since the 1960’s, though it was not until 1995 that the last restrictions on its use to carry commercial traffic were removed. The World Wide Web (WWW) was created in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee, a British scientist at CERN. Initially, it was used primarily by university-based scientific departments or physics laboratories; it was not until everyone that could afford a computer and the price of dial-up/ broadband became reasonable enough that most of the United States could access the World Wide Web. We live in a connected society, the world is at your fingertips with a smartphone; you can watch a video on YouTube, keep up with friends by text or social media, check the weather, latest news or sports headlines. However, with the introduction of the Internet, it has become easier to bully, harass and even steal from others. There are even websites that tell you how to become Internet Famous; the only way to become famous before YouTube and the Internet were traditional media: newspapers, TV, and word of mouth. Internet Fame, however, has its downsides. One problem of living in a connected society is that anyone can become famous for many reasons: a video went viral of a “Police Officer telling an Uber Driver that it’s illegal to film them”. Some people responded that the Uber Driver was in the wrong for not following the direction of the officer, and for others, the Uber Driver was a hero for standing up for his rights. Due to the publicity on the

The internet is one of humankind’s greatest achievements. It is the library of all the world’s public information. It allows artists and creators to have their work appreciated globally. It connects people from all around the world, giving us, the people, a sense of unity. And it is in grave danger. American ISP (Internet Service Provider) companies are taking advantage of our corrupt senators and legislators to repeal our net neutrality laws. Net neutrality is the principle that internet providers like Comcast and Verizon should not control what we see and do online. Opponents of net neutrality say that it makes it harder on consumers, but their logic is flawed. We must fight for net neutrality in the United States because it gives us access to all the web’s content, enforces equal access for all users internet, and protects our freedom of speech.

The internet is not largely owned, controlled or owned by governmental bodies. The internet however receives indirect government support through federally funded academic facilities providing some network related services. This raises a question in the appropriate long-term role played by the government in the continued evolution of the Internet. There are some areas in which the government input in the Internet is vital although most of the Internet interests are left to the private sector.

There were 3,685,824,813 internet users in the world as of June 30, 2016. When we use the internet to look up the weather, sports, or the daily news do we ever thing about the possible dangers? The biggest increase has been among young adults, with time spent online almost tripling from 10 hours and 24 minutes each week in 2005 to 27 hours and 36 minutes in 2014. In total, the average adult spends more than 20 hours online a week, which includes time spent on the internet at work. Well there are many dangers that come with using the internet some we already know as in hackers, but we can’t know all of them. Internet can be an extremely useful tool for young people. But instant messaging, chat rooms, emails and social networking sites can also bring trouble. One in 20 children admitted arranging a secret meeting with someone they met online. One of the most common dangers many know is Cyberbullying which is the use of electronic communication to bully a person, typically by sending messages of an intimidating or threatening nature. Almost three in 10 parents (29%) let their kids use the internet without any restrictions or supervision Today I am going to talk about three dangers of the internet they are sexual predators, damaged reputations, and pornography.

Picture a life without a phone, the internet, and any type of technology that individuals use today. For teenagers, this is probably impossible task for them to do. When looking around, every individual is guaranteed to catch at least one teenager using some type of technology on a daily basis. Whether they are sitting in class, walking down the street, grocery shopping with their parents, or even in their own home there is always someone using technology. Nowadays technology is not only something that teenagers rely on, but all of society as well. Technology is what many students and teens lives revolve around. These individuals, and the rest of the world, are becoming too dependent on the internet and everything that comes with it. The problem is, teenagers are blind to the issues technology is creating all over the world today. They are so involved in what the new IPhone will look like or whether or not they should buy the new game for their xbox, that they ultimately miss the substantial problems the internet is causing. The internet not only has negative impacts on the teenagers using technology, but all of those around them. Although many are unaware, technology is causing teeagers to struggle with communication, have various health issues, and struggle with psychosocial issues.

The internet and social media have come a long way in the past decade. “This is an exciting time to be a young person interested in media” (Jennifer Shewmaker, PhD) Technology has evolved into something that we as humans use every single day. Nowadays children are growing with electronic devices and internet surrounding them. With technology on their hands all day they get exposed too inappropriate content, devolving mental problems and, in some cases being victims of cyberbullying. And yes, there’s no doubt the internet is a useful tool that we use every day for homework and other uses. “But instant messaging, chat room, emails and social networking can also bring trouble – from cyberbullying to more serious internet dangers, including exposure to sexual predators (Katherine Kam, par.3) Too children, who’s brains aren’t well developed they fall to being victims of the to what the internet can cause too their young lives. Many adolescents don’t see the dangers of the internet, but us as adults should prevent introducing the internet too them as such a young age before it’s too late.

Nowadays almost everyone has a cellphone, and most people have a computer, or some gaming device to play when they are bored. This is great to do when you are not busy. In fact it is a easy way to access almost any information you need. It is faster to find information on the internet than to read through a long book. This also takes away time for reading, playing outside, hanging out with other people. It is important to learn all the benefits and the harm the internet causes, so you can decide to keep using it as often, or you can reduce the usage and start gathering information through books and newspapers. There are some people think that the internet is good, and there are some people that think the internet is bad. The internet has more negative than positives affects to the users, and it makes people socially less intelligent, harder to concentrate on a task, causes people to skim read, and induces people to be lazy.

Anti-social, drop in grades, eye damage these are some of the topics that are brought up in conversation when talking about the use of the internet and how long teenagers are using it. But do they mention the pros of using the internet?

“Dressed in black masks and tactical gear, armed with long guns and pistols, they entered a holiday party for county health workers in San Bernardino as it was in full swing. Before they fled, they had killed 14 people and wounded 17 others” (Serrano) On December 2, 2015 Syed Rizwan Farook, and Tashfeen Malik entered a health facility in San Bernardino and started a rampage to innocent victims. After leaving the Inland Regional Center, local law enforcements were able to make contact with them leading into a police chase. Last but not least they faced off and two of the terrorists were killed, however they discovered a female who was a third person in this brutal attack. As investigators were trying to find the motive behind this tragedy, the FBI found three iPhones in the trash, two of the phones were physically and internally damage. The third phone happened to be fine, the only problem was that it was locked with a password. Majority of iPhone users knows that the iPhone will erase all the data after it’s tenth unsuccessful password. In addition, the FBI requested Apple to create a software where they can hack into this iPhone in order to prevent another terrorist attack. However where this agreement ends, Apple cannot create a software without harming the iPhone community. The FBI took action and decided to take this argument to a judge. Moreover, Apple denied once again and the FBI is taking this argument to court. This case is now in process as the opening statements

Welcome to the 21st century where the world is more connected than ever. All thanks to the internet, people can communicate with anyone through social media platforms anywhere in the world with internet access. This new process of communication revolutionizes the way we see our fellow person in reality and online. The internet has created a world that is fast, efficient and concise where soon the digital world will take the role of reality. The essence of human interaction has suddenly become a connection made between screens rather than between people. With that said, I believe that social media is destroying the nature of intimacy. To resolve this issue, I’ll push through a petition where my initiative says that you must be the age of 13
