Internet Essay

The internet is based on sources and information about companies, music, and people. Everything is posted online and sometimes that information can affect you depending if people write about you or you yourself post things possibly in appropriate. Such as posting pictures of yourself naked, pornalistic videos or bulgur texts that would not sound write and can be weird to people.

 The internet is worldwide, where we can all share ideas or things about yourself to others and how it can bring the people or community together as one or apart. Also were people you have as a friend can comment on your statues which is what you have post up and click a button  were it says like which means they liked your post.
There is a website called Facebook that is for people to post information about themselves and where you can blog about others.

 In my opinion I think blogging about others is okay but depending if your blogging good about the person or blogging bad about the person because then that wouldn’t be good nor nice. You may hurt people’s feelings and also get them mad or frustrated which also I don’t think you would like some one else doing the same thing to you. The creators made the website with a lot of effort and is now a worldwide website that people use all day every day basically 24/7. In the article Time’s Person of the Year: You, it says “And we didn’t just watch, we also worked, Like crazy. We made Facebook profiles and Second Life avatars and reviewed books at Amazon and recorded pod casts. We blogged about our candidates losing and wrote songs about getting dumped. We camcorder bombing runs and built open-source software.” This piece of evidence states that the internet and its sources have expanded worldwide especially because it entertains the people trying something new that is fun to use.

 Websites, such as Facebook or Myspace, can be viewed by others, like your friends or family and only they can see what you are posting. Though, they don’t think about how what you post online can affect them because there may be something they won’t like to find out about. In the article, What You Say Online Could Haunt You, it says “Admission dean Paul Marthers at Reed College in Portland, Ore., says the school denied admission this year to one applicant in part because his entries on blogging site Live Journal included disparaging comments about Reed.” Based on this quote from the text, it sets an example on how posting things online can affect you in school and in your job you might post something inappropriate you wouldn’t like others for example people from your work or some where else important to read what you had post and would be shocking to them. You should think about what you post online before you actually do it.

 Web 2.0 brought the world together harboring a sense of community in which the common person could post their thoughts and experiences on the web to share with others. In the same article mentioned before it says, “You can learn more about how Americans live just by looking at the backgrounds of You Tube videos those rumpled bedrooms and toy strewn basement rec. rooms than you could from 1,000 hours of network television.” Web 2.0 is not a new version of some old software, it’s really a revolution.

 Overall, one should always think about the pros and cons before posting things online because there are people that are going to judge you based on that. You have the choice whether or not you want to share your life to others on the internet. Think about how it is going to make you look and how others are going to see what type of person you really are. Not every single information can be true unless you want it to be or make it be.
