The Internet - A Nice Place To Stay?

In my opinion about calling the internet 'a nice place to stay', I would say... for the most part, yes, it is.

Don't get me wrong though; I ENJOY using the internet as much as the next person... because of how resourceful it is, in terms of the distribution of information, and the communities that develop within groups of people.

… At the same time, however, just like in real life, you have to be careful of where you go... because, just like in New York City, there are some places out there that are not as friendly as others.

For instance, strangers on the internet: we can talk to them, befriend them, and have a strong bond with one another… but we have to understand... that unless we know them in real life, we can never know who they REALLY are... no matter how close the internet can connect each other.

We are all connected through interests, going from food, to the arts, to even politics. It’s what bonds each other in our communication. The internet itself shares a sense of place and connection based on those… and other places can encourage isolation, because of how empty it is… how dark, how vague.

The internet… it’s a valuable tool, for both personal and public use, and it's a great way to connect to people, but it can also be dangerous. It's a double-bladed sword; both a useful and precautious weapon.
