These days, the Internet has opened up a lot of negative and positive opportunities for youth. Technology has become so advanced that the Internet can be accessed through pretty much anything. Examples of these gateways are iPod touches, iPad , laptops, computers and cellular devices.
Now a days, youth are using social networking websites like Facebook and Twitter as a way to communicate to their peers. But really, is that always a good thing? In my opinion, it certainly isn’t. With the access to pornographic websites, chat rooms for inappropriate reasons and ways to get information about someone that doesn’t even expect anyone to know, youth have their eyes opened up to things that they don’t need to know about!
Being a youth myself, I have seen it all on the Internet. False advertisements, websites for adults, bullying chat rooms and other weird and dangerous things are included in all the things I have seen. But still, I am a constant user of cyberspace. My life is online. I can communicate with my peers, post images and thoughts all over my Facebook, Twitter and Myspace accounts.
Some people just abuse the use of the Internet. Pornographic images, stalking and cyber bullying just seem to ruin the whole point of Internet. It could be used to connect with others, gather important information, and search for interests but it becomes overwhelmed with “bad” things. These “bad” things begin to make us wonder, is technology taking over the world?
