Internet technology the dark and the bright side

Internet technology has allowed me to communicate with others across the world in has made time and space compress. The internet allows things to travel at the speed of light and recieve information fast as well. Anything you need to know about are either on various websites or search engines. The intenet has made my social and educational life very easy. Along with all the positives of the internet comes many negatives like privacy and sensory issues. Take websites like Facebook and Myspace. No longer are you able to communicate privately, everyone can now see what you are writing, when you are writing, ,and to who you are writing. The internet has made privacy an issue. The internet also has a lot of explicit things on it. Internet use can be helpful for some but exploitation for others. While there are both dark and bright spots for internet technology one thing is certain and that is to many people have relied on the internet. The internet is fueled by a machine and at any point those machines can crash. It is on us to rely somewhat on ourselves rather then a man-made machine.
