I think I should be posting this here.....I'm always scared of my threads getting moved because I'm dumb and I don't know where to post them. Haha XD So I was wondering all of your opinions about the Internet. You know, as in why it was created (and what has evolved from that), it's advantages and disadvantages, the dangers, etc. DISCUSS....and stuff

It has completely exploded over the last 10 years. Its advantages are that it allows us to do business, talk to friends, indexing information. and basically do anything online. The disadvantages are the obvious, pedofiles, stealing of information. LOL. ;D

I believe that the internet is one of the best things to happen to mankind. Ever.
Now while the internet can be an entertaining diversion, it extends far beyond "Just for Fun".
For example, right now I am sharing my opinion with 1000+ people from all over the world just because I have a computer and an internet connection. The internet enables people to connect with each other be it sharing a funny .gif or sharing their entire view on a subject, and that my friend is a pretty amazing thing.
The internet has allowed us to educate ourselves far beyond what a library book or a teacher could. The internet can teach us a new language, it could provide us with everything we need to know about a lot of things, it could even get you THE most amazing sandwich recipe. Either way, the internet has given us the utmost power.
My friend, I find the internet so indescribable that I can't even write my whole opinion on it and still make sense.

Imagine if America were the only country with internet access, do you realize how much of an advantage America would have over any other country?

The internet is freaking amazing. We all know that. It's how I make a living and feed my family.
BUT it's destroying social etiquette as we know it. I say as we know it, because really, it's just changing social etiquette, but not destroying it. We rely on it more and more heavily all the time just to converse, PLUS it's given birth to internet grammar. English teachers must loathe this.

If anyone would have had the Internet for themselves, it would be all of Europe, because, contrary to popular belief, it's a European invention (created by Tim Berners-Lee, a Brit, with a colleague at CERN). But if America would have it for themselves, well, the world wouldn't be very happy for long.

Social networking recently passed Porn as the number one use of the internet. (I don't know if that's true, but it's funny)
I feel porn is of more value to society (very little), but whatever makes people happy.. I can't remember which vlogger pointed out that that must mean people masturbate to facebook pictures now!
