The interview with George who is citizen of Austin.
Who must uses the internet the most and why?
Anyone who feels responsible enough to use the internet (in
practicality everybody who has access to the internet)
What problems do you think the internet creates?
The problem with internet is the indolence and apathy of
modern society. Strive for a different
education with more exposure to real life activities seems to have greatly
decreased. The access to the internet has also led to large amounts of
plagiarism. The amount of knowledge over the internet is leading students to
“copy and paste” information, never really teaching any material.
What problems does the internet solve?
The internet has allowed society to access a vast amount of
knowledge in seconds, even at the touch of their fingertips in today’s modern
age. For those with eager minds and a drive for knowledge, the internet is a
wonderful tool.
Why is it a good idea to have books or magazines published
on the internet?
The internet is a growing tool amongst society today
allowing a vast amount of access to anybody, as opposed to books and magazines.
The internet will likely never go away. The knowledge and information placed on
the internet will never move, never facing problems like tangible items. The
information will never go away.
What is the most important feature of the internet?
Its accessibility would be the biggest feature. Anybody with
motivation will have the opportunity to access the internet with ease.
Would you like to go on a date with someone you meet on the
internet?
No, although the internet is a wonderful tool, the cons
would be the deceptions of people that abuse the internet. One will never truly
understand what they may or may not be getting into in such situation. Granted
it varies between people and the amount of trust and willingness one may have,
a more cautious person such as myself would not.
In the future, should the internet be far away from our
lives or closer than it is now?
Neither. I think the internet is fine at a level that it is.
Pushing it further away would be pushing away a great tool and future
opportunity. But with incautious planning letting it in closer could result in
further complications in today’s world.
I think the internet is very useful to us now. For example, if I have a question related to daily life or facts, I just need to click some buttons and find a reliable answer. Yet, I agree that this convenience reduces the actual verbal communication time with others. It is interesting that you ask George if he wants to date someone from the Internet.
ReplyDeleteHey Kadir! I enjoyed reading your article, kudos on the intro! I completely agree with your arguments. Internet is a really useful tool; as David says, it is very easy to use, information accessible to the click of a button. I also agree with you about people using the internet "incorrectly", I mean, not taking advantage of it the proper way, but using it for plagiarism or time-wasting browsing instead. This is a very interesting subject, I particularly enjoyed the question about internet dating. I wonder if adding a paragraph at the end would work; you could argue about George's answers to your questions, it would make a really nice conclusion.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this!!
