Prompt#6: Describe the purposes of the Internet. Include the various viewpoints, including that of the users and providers.

The main purpose of the Internet is to provide the population with information and knowledge in my mind. I feel that’s the reason it was created for in the first place. The Internet is full of information most people don’t know about. I allows you to grow smarter as an individual in today’s world. The Internet is also used as a means of communication worldwide now.
The Internet connects millions people across the world today that would probably have no means of communication with each other without it. The Internet nowadays allows people to share there thoughts and opinions on all issues going on in the world. It allows people to make a name for themselves such as Perez Hilton, a blogger who always talks about celebrities and there issues and stuff. Another example would be a rapper getting fame worldwide. Most likely the rapper posted his music on the Internet and got a lot of fans that sent or told there friends about him and so on. With newfound fame like that from the Internet the rapper could get noticed and signed by a record label and become rich and have a great career thanks to the Internet for helping him launch his career off.
The Internet is one of mankind’s greatest inventions and also at the same time one of our worst inventions ever. The Internet helps us in a lot of ways but you still cant ignore the bad things about the Internet. The Internet is used by some people for disgusting purposes like a grown man trying to lure a teenage girl in so he can have sex with her. And some people get caught up in the human slave or sex slave industry through the Internet unwillingly. Overall the Internet is a great thing we created but I also has a dark side that you should never over look.
