Double Entry Journal #6

Quote: Two hundred years later, the Internet has brought greater global access to information, education, and commerce than ever before, but these benefits have to be balanced against cybercrime, cyber-bullying, information overload, violent video games, copyright infingement, and 24/7 online pornography. `

Response:

I chose this quote because, in my opinion, this quote is the truest statement I've read. It is true that the Internet has brought us great growth, but along with growth comes problems. There are always things that one must protect themselves from. In this case it is cybercrime, bullying, information overload, etc. The internet has defiantly come a long way and I believe it can only advance. It is true, however, that there are still a lot of barriers is has to overcome. Whether it is a college student writing a paper or a soccer mom trying to find something for dinner, the Internet will always be put to use.
