Loneliness

This reading was all about how the internet is slowly starting to cause people to be less social in day to day activities with the people around them. Instead they are starting to get on the internet and talk to people in chat groups. They did many tests and experiments to see if it was actually true and surprisingly it was true. People are becoming more depressed and starting not to participate in social activities that their community is having. They just sit at home and surf the web and talk to some person from across the world. There are some good points to the internet. It gives people a place to find information on virtually any topic that they could think of. It also allows socially awkward people to find a place that they feel comfortable so that they can have some people to talk to.

I think that the internet is a great thing but people need to know the dangers that it brings. People are getting smarter every day and coming up with new ways to snatch your identity. Then there are the people that pretend to be a different person online so that they can meet up with someone and possibly rape or kidnap them. I support the internet and always will but people should know what they could be getting themselves into before they get on it.
