The Internet: A Clear and Present Danger?

Throughout the entire article it is discussed that the Internet can effect your life whenever it is in use. No matter what you are doing online, whether it be paying bills or just talking with friends on facebook the Internet in the long run can ruin your life. In the beginning of the article Cleaver starts it using examples of how the Internet can effect you. I think that people should be able to uses the resource of the Internet without being worried someone can tap into our information. Parents today have many things to worry about regarding their children and shouldn't have to worry about their children being exposed to child predators while playing on the Internet. The legislation today needs to make all of these activities illegal and put an end to them. Today the Internet like Cleaver stated is used primarily by children and is not good considering many child predators are able to find a lot of information about them by lying about who they actually are. The way Cleaver started her essay really caught my attention and made me think about how all those things relate to me and people I know. The examples she used can happen to anyone and is something that needs to be fixed.
