The internet has changed humanity no doubt about it. Some people might use it to learn new things that will positively further their knowledge, while others choose to commit frowned upon acts, and corrupt themselves. Pornographic material easily accessible to any curious child or teen with internet access can lead them down the path of corruption. Pornographic material and similar explicit content available on the internet tend to degrade humanity. Almost any song or movie you can think of can easily be pirated from the internet, making protecting copyright almost impossible. Albert Einstein once said “I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots”, this quote is so precise, and it scares me. The internet is a great place for one to learn how to write an essay, but also the perfect place for someone to plagiarize someone else’s. Plagiarism and pirating copyrighted material cause very negative outcomes, this could ruin one’s reputation, or even worst, get them locked up in federal prison with 500,000 dollars bail (Pirating). P2P sharing sites like thepiratesbay, and kissasstorrents have successfully been taken down by the CIA, they are slowly cracking down on such websites while they remain lenient on the pornography websites corrupting our youth.

Cyberbullying can be a problem as people can take advantage of the fact that there is no one who can effectively stop the bullying when it happens, due to everything being performed behind a screen. The only way for a bully to be stopped is if they are reported and victims may be too intimidated to do it. Social networking can also ruin relationships as people may get jealous if they find out their boyfriend or girlfriend is exchanging messages with other people. It can also be a waste of time as people can visit a site to check on thing and end up spending the whole day 'behind the screen' and as a result, not doing anything useful with their lives. Positives Social networking has lots of good points You can express yourself, showing off your favourite song lyrics or posting pictures of your new outfit.

Technology impacts the way we do our finances and how we receive our entertainment; however, one of the most impacted areas is that of education. Within education the effects of technology are seen in both positive and negative ways. On the positive side, technology has provided new and innovative tools that enhance the learning experience. On the negative side, technology has added a level of distraction and has opened up a new horizon in the realm of academic dishonesty. The impact of technology on education is a double edged sword that can benefit academia while also hurting academia in the same swing. Before the influx of technological advances, a student’s access to empirical research was limited to brick and mortar repositories of information, the library. When faced with a research project students needed to appropriately allocate their time resources in order to physically visit a traditional library, scour catalogues of reference data, transcribe their notes (in handwriting) and then return home to write their paper; all the while, hoping that they have all the information needed. Additionally students were at the mercy of their local library to have the timeliest resources available as many smaller libraries would be horribly outdated (McCoy, 2014). Now in the age of technology, students...
