The Internet

The Internet is amazing. It allows us to do things we couldn't before. You can email people and share things. You can play games or just read an article. You can buy stuff online. You can do all your homework research online and not have to waste your time at libraries. 
There is a downside though. The Internet can be really dangerous. People can hack into your accounts, or you could get a computer virus. Chat rooms are also dangerous. 
I like the Internet a lot. It makes schoolwork easy and it's a good place to turn to when you're really really bored. It's useful for work and school, but you can also use it for fun. I don't think there's much you can't do on the Internet. I also think it's kind of taking over the world, so to speak. Facebook is definitely trying to take over the Web, which I don't like, especially since I don't have a Facebook account and probably never will. The only reason I would ever get one is if I was forced to have one to access certain websites. That hasn't happened yet, but I think it might in the future. Hopefully I'm not giving Facebook any ideas. 
Don't get me wrong- Facebook is very nice. I just think it's kind of trying to dominate the Internet. The man who invented it had a good reason, and it paid off for him, because now he's rich, and I respect all of that. But I've just never been too enthusiastic about getting a Facebook page, and by that I mean I do not like Facebook, its purpose, or its format/style. I'm glad a lot of Internet-obsessed people have made good use out of it, though. 
In conclusion, the Internet is wonderful, convenient, dangerous, and dominating the world.
