OK! so there's no doubt the internet has changed the world, we all know this to be true, pretty much for the better despite some pretty messed up stuff lets run through the nice list for now;
- Communicate with the whole world and share your love.
- Study ANYTHING YOU WANT!
- Donate money to charities
- Sponsor medical research
- Share you music and art with the world
- make wonderful new friends
- create blog's/share your life
- youtube
- medical research
- Buy a robot
- play games online
Wow! the internet sounds magical! now lets look at a couple of the not so nice things you can do on the internet.
- Purchase fissionable nuclear materials.
- purchase medical waste and biological agents.
- learn to make Agent Orange from household chemicals
- learn to cook meth using readily available chemicals at your local pharmacy
- bomb making instructions
- place a contract on someones life
- Cyber Piracy(cause apparently its a crime?)
I'm not even going to try, it can be good or bad, depends on who is using it, and for what purpose. But yeah. its still global communication and information, and the old axiom says that knowledge is power, we've given our entire planet access to information on how to blow shit up, and we're suddenly surprised that its started happening everywhere.
The internet is just this kind of can of worms, people weren't ready for it, and now it just cant be shut down or monitored succesfully, it gave everyone a voice and a face all over the world, and at the same time made everyone voiceless and faceless, we're nothing if we arent part of this new "global community"
it's messed up
