The Internet
The internet is a vast sea of information, an endless network of computers worldwide. It
allows people to connect to unknown people while drifting them apart from their long
known acquaintances. The internet seems to be a paradox to its original intent today. It was
originally created to share important research and military information within a chain of
interconnected computers but today has become more of a source of entertainment. On one
hand Internet may be a great source of vast information and may help people connect, on
the other hand, it also has a darker side that we need to be aware of. This awareness can
help people reduce exploitation of the innocent and help protect the safety and privacy of
an individual. The digital citizens should always keep an eye out for malicious intent and
must think before they leap into the idea of posting or publicizing any thing personal or
private.
