Being a 90's kid, I was born right in the midst of the internet becoming a big thing. I've grown up my whole life with the internet and can't really imagine life, let alone schooling, without it. It allows people to have access to hundreds of thousands of pages of information; some reliable, and some well....not so much. The internet allows me to explore any and all questions I have about well, any and everything I can think of from dead poets and Shakespearean Actors, to Area 51 and Sasquatch. It allows me to keep in contact with friends and family in different area codes with ease or keep up with all my teams in real time.
The internet: like any good thing, has its disadvantages. The vast amount of information on the web makes it easy to get: distracted, fooled, and/or mislead. Contrary to popular belief you cant really believe everything you read on the internet, you have to check your sources or 'dig a little deeper' as they say. For the most part as long as the user is smart and brought up knowing the risks of the internet, I fell that there is no limit to the good things that it (the internet) could bring.
