The Internet, What a Tool!

Gosh, what would we do in this day and age without the great virtual universe we call the internet? Some of our entire lives revolve around this newly found masterpiece, our jobs and our personal lives. Some use it for educational purposes, such as literature and art. Others use it for convienence, after all, this wonderful tool is at our very finger tips. If it weren’t for the internet, it is quite blatant that I wouldn’t be typing this, and you wouldn’t be reading it either.

But this innovative idea can be both a good thing, or a tragedy. Many people take it’s ease of use into their business lives, taking it for granted to find just what it is they’re looking for. Sadly, a lot of  people use it for other reasons.  Reasons such as stalking, tracing other’s daily lives, and more adult-oriented affairs.

Luckily that is not the edge of this vast entity. There are some well known sites, such as the famous search engines, and others entirely for one to sit down after a long hard day and catch a laugh. This brings me to the most random site out there: youtube. What would we do without it? After a harsh day at school or work, we find such enjoyment at searching for the tag lines, possibly such things as “Fat kid dancing” or “Elephant kissing a Turtle”. And what’s sad is that it’s all there!

 The internet’s an amazing conception, and we couldn’t imagine today’s hectic, high-speed world without it. But some misuse it unfortunately. We must realize that such a great tool can lead to problems of its own.
