Does the internet unleash the worst in us?

Filed under: Uncategorized —— Martin @ 4:51 pm

With the ability to hide behind a computer screen and not have to face people directly, especially on certain picture forums where unless you give away your information, everything is deleted within a matter of minutes and with that you can say anything you want. Thus with the security of anonymity a person can show their true colors, and by doing that they will most likely become the worst person they can be. In this situation, yes the internet unleashes the worst in us. But then you get into the situation where even if you have the power it does not mean you have to use that power. It is a true test of your character if you are completely anonymous and you still do not release the worst in yourself. That being said, it all depends on whether or not you WANT to be an angry person who unleashes the worst just because you are not face to face with someone.
