Author Topic: Thought provoking questions about the internet  (Read 1675 times)

I have some easy answer-the-question home work for English, we're doing stuff on an article about the internet.
I thought these were pretty interesting questions.

Questions:

Q: Explain how your life would be or would not be different if there was no internet.
Q: What government regulation or rule regarding Internet use would you make more or less strict?

My answer (I've only done the first one so far):

A: If there was no internet, my life would be very different. To elaborate on this, I would probably spend more time outside. I would also have a harder time researching things and communicating, since those are some of the primary uses of the internet. I would also have a whole different group of friends, since I would like different things (since things like video games on the internet would have never been made).


If you want to submit your own answer, go ahead

If there was no internet I'd be in an entirely different career path

Yeah I guess you're right.  I guess I'd just regulate what is allowed to be filtered.

Q: Explain how your life would be or would not be different if there was no internet.
Without the Internet life would indeed more difficult. But if the Internet was never "born" in the first place then no one would of noticed and would of found another way to do things just as easy. So, without internet my life would be outdoors more often.

The internet should be free, there should be no restrictions. However, speed restrictions should remain in place to prevent clogging of networks from abusers.

Q: Explain how your life would be or would not be different if there was no internet.
My life would be completely different, In fact I may have committed Self Delete or something if I didn't have the internet.
all of my friends I've made are on the internet. everything I enjoy is on the internet.
If I didn't have the internet I would be a loser kid that no one likes with no place to go. I would have no options for a life and no friends to help me out with any of my problems and It would probably result in me committing Self Delete if I didn't have people like I do to help me out and enjoy life.
Infact, my personality would be completely different. most of the things I like are from the internet ( I would never have had a love for TF2 or avians or anything).
Q: What government regulation or rule regarding Internet use would you make more or less strict?
I would make Laws on things like Illegal websites more strict and would make Copyright rules a little bit less strict (looking at you, youtube.)
