The Power of the Internet

I have been having this issue of coming up with ideas for my blog lately, sort of like writers block. So instead of doing some productive with my day and pushing through this writers block, I've just sort of sat on my bed and scrolling through the internet. And then I got this idea. What if instead of using the internet as an escape, I use it for my work. To as you can probably tell from the title of this blog, today I will be talking about the internet and the ablitlies it can have.

The internet is this weird place where people have become famous and been discovered as these truly amazing and talented people, but it's also got this side where terrible things can happen. People can be cyber bullied or harassed, because the internet has this way of shielding us from seeing the immediate damage or affects we have. It's like a blind fold to the horrible things we can do to one another. The internet just holds this power and by using it we can obtain some of things power and use it in which every ways we liked.

The internet is just a crazy place to be. And the horrible things about the internet is it can become a trap and we don't even realize it. You post a photo of friends at a party and you think nothing of it. But by doing this one simple act you can ruin a friends chance into college or even their future. You may not even realize it but in the background of this photo there is a friend who is holding an alcoholic drink or smoking cigarettes. And at first this may only get them introuble with their parents, but it can snowball into something that can involve the police and get your friend into serious trouble. And biggest trap of the internet: anything posted on the internet can never be taken down. You can erase the photo from your Facebook or try to change how it appears to others. But the truth is someone can else go back and find that photo, or they can ignore the facts and what you say is true and just mini pulsate it into something else.

And the most bizarre thing about the internet is, even though it's this crazy place where these horrible things can happen. It's also an amazing place where people talents can be shown and they can find true happiness and success just by posting a video on youtube or creating artwork and posting it to Tumblr. Writers can express themselves freely on their blogs and communities can be build with the click of a button.

I don't really know where I was going with this, I just wanted everyone to be aware of how real the internet can be. It bigger than anyone could have imagined and you have to be careful with it. See you all next time.
