World Wide Problem - The Internet
The Internet is massive and one of the biggest applications these days. It has so many websites on it like games , music and email, that it would be too much to count. With all that technology comes some big responsibilities. Some people use the Internet as a toy and do not understand the consequences of the Internet. Pop ups are little advertisements that invite you to their website, but don’t click on them! they can lead to viruses and you don’t want viruses in your computer. Viruses are little microchips and when you get one it can copy itself and spread all over the computer. When you put a hard drive or disc into your computer the virus can jump on to it and go on to another computer you put them into it. But you can get virus protection. Bad sites are sites that anyone can edit. They’re not like a book so it is possible that they don’t tell the truth. When people edit a site they could accidentally put a virus on it so think before you click. Also never give your information away if a site asks for it. The benefits of the Internet are huge. You’ve got games like miniclip and addicting games. But that’s only the main sites. There are sites you haven’t even heard of. You can get email on the computer. There are a couple of email websites. You can also download music on itunes, and you can research anything from ants to Mount Everest. Remember - Use the Internet wisely. Think what you are doing, never give your information away, and have fun and enjoy it. By Taylor
