The Pros And Cons Of The Internet

The Internet was first used in the nineteen sixties by a small group of technology professionals. Since then the internet has become an essential part of today’s world, from communicating through texts and emails to banking, studying, and shopping, the internet has touched every aspect of our lives. With the growing use of the internet, protecting important information has become a must. While some believe they have the right to privacy, and feel that the government should not be at the center of their lives. Others feel that the Internet has evolved into a weapon for our enemies, and believe the government must take action by proactively

In the past 200 years, many aspects of our society and those of the world have changed, ranging from social morals and ethics to technology. Through the great leaps and bounds technology has made, transferring information has gone from something that could have taken weeks to virtually an effortless and instantaneous norm of everyday life. This ease of information exchange has caused many things to change, be it the growing popularity of the Internet and e-mail or the ridiculous amount of television channels ever ready to inform the average citizen of the happenings around the community, state, country, and world. With so many changes taking place, one would think that all things of importance would

The policy under analysis was introduced to the House on June 26, 2014; it was passed/agreed to in House on July 23, 2014; it was passed/agreed to in Senate on September 18, 2014; it was presented to the President on September 26, 2014; it was signed by the President on September 29, 2014; and it became Public Law No. 113-183 on September 29, 2014 (Library of Congress, n.d.). The bill was introduced by Rep. Camp, Dave, Rep. Levin, Sander M., Rep. Reichert, David G., and Rep. Doggett, Lloyd (Civic Impulse, 2017). The bill was passed in the House and Senate by a Unanimous Consent, so no opposition to the policy was noted (Civic Impulse, 2017).

I believe the answer is quite simple: the Fourth Amendment is in no way, shape, or form outmatched by this challenge. The internet is an extension of each and every individual who uses it, and to violate the privacy granted by the US Constitution is, without exception, unconstitutional and should absolutely be

" In the late eighteenth century, after the United States of America achieved their independence from their former ruler, American leaders decided that their country was in need of a new document to rule over it. They took upon themselves the task of drafting the Constitution, which has been the supreme law since its ratification. As part of its Bill of Rights, the Fourth Amendment protects American citizens from ""unreasonable searches and seizures"". While the internet did not exist for a couple more centuries, this right that citizens have expands and changes as society does, therefore internet protection falls under the umbrella of the Fourth Amendment. The government monitoring the internet could be considered illegal under this fourth

The Internet powers our country. Not only do hundreds of millions of Americans use it daily, our government and states use it to do important national and international business. Our government already utilizes it to monitor the activity of its people. This monitoring has especially risen after events such as the Boston Bombing and the attacks of 9/11. The main reason that the government does this is to keep us safe. If the government puts more slack on this matter, then it will give a chance for terrorists to complete their objective. The normal person does not know how many terrorist attacks may have been stopped in the past years due to this surveillance, and how many lives it may have saved. Therefore, we cannot let our government halt

Internet is a double-edged sword. On one side that candidate is able to increase the chance to get more votes, on the other hand the risks have to be taken by

Over time the United States has been molded by new technology, and American politics were no exception. Throughout history the political process in the United States has been greatly altered by advancements in technology; mail, radio, and television(elements in a series) have all shaped the way the public sees politicians in monumental ways. Recently a new factor has made its mark on American politics: social media. The use of social media by politicians and citizens has had repercussions that echo throughout the political sphere. The introduction of social media altered the landscape of American politics forever. Now more than ever before, it is harder to find the truth and even easier to hide from

communications. This law was in place as many Americans are wary of the uber wealthy having a

When politicians employ social media to expand their ideas to a wider audience, it allows more people to become involved in politics. Unfortunately, this expansion of politics is not really to our country’ advantage. The 2008 elections sparked the start to a new era of politics; one where social media became a major source of

The progression of technology has enhanced the availability to methods in which interaction among people and social media has been/is used to get messages across, obtain information, and maintain the ability to influence how a person is viewed by either a singular person or a group of individuals. The prevalence of social media in politics has broadened the accessibility and availability to politician’s ideals, campaigns, and standpoints. It also has allowed politicians to campaign more independently to create their own self-image. Broadcasting this information on social media comes with the potential to influence power relationships among politicians, political parties, or those merely interested in politics. Communicating to the public

Theorists contend that representative government is headed for direct democracy by way of the Internet. Essentially what will happen is that representatives will no longer be needed because citizens will be able to use the Internet to make decisions. Grossman contends that “the more power [citizens] have to control their government and to involve themselves in making its decisions, the better” (41). Over the years citizens have been obtaining information through the media, newspapers, and other forms of mass media. The issues that arise with obtaining information through these sources are that the government can easily censor them. With the Internet comes “vastly expanded capacities for data collection, for computation, and for automation” (Kamark & Nye 22).

The effects of the internet on me and this society have been rapidly changing. Did you know that approximately 3.2 billion people use the internet, about 200 billion emails and 3 million google searches would have to wait if the internet was turned off for one day. Let me tell you about something that happened when i was little, it might be off topic a little but when i was little i was born backwards, meaning i came out legs first. My hips were out of place and until i was about 2. My dad is always on the internet and loved taking pictures of his “Little princess”, the pictures can still be found on facebook along with a lot of other things from my family memories. That was when i started wanting to get on the internet, i asked for a facebook and they said no, being a rebel i made one anyways just to play the games on it. The internet can have positive and negative things about it for younger and older people, for example the internet engines are one of the best information givers out there, they bring almost everything and anything to a lot of internet users that lange from all over the world. The internet can provide ways to communicate with family and friends from a long distance, and even meet new people. Bad things about it is people sharing and storing illegal information on the internet, much like the dark web. The addiction to the internet and the online network can be disturbing a person's way of living and professional activity.

Ever since the Internet first came into existence, people have utilized this medium as a means for communication, and as a
