HW14: Internet as a dangerous tool

Since the Internet has become so popular and vital for us to be constantly connected, it has also become an equally as dangerous tool assisting terrorism, pirating, and even child molesters. On the other hand, the Internet is the strongest tool for spreading information (For example: news sites, chat rooms, instant messaging, email, blogs, search engines, academic sites, etc). After all, that was the original intent of the Internet—to help communicate and send information at a rapid pace. Conversely, the Web has become a massive public pool full of kids with uncontrollable bladders. In addition, there is no declared security force (or life guards) providing any kind of limitation to what goes onto the Web. However, as stated in the First Amendment of the United States constitution, our freedom of speech is protected…and valued. Therefore, we as United States citizens are free and protected by our country to post just about anything, as long as it doesn’t infringe on the rights of any other United States citizen. In conclusion, the Internet is a very valuable tool as well as a dangerous place.
