Hello [internet] world.

hi.
The internet is such a strange place. It is strange yet convient to me how you can find pretty much everything on here. It is scary though how dangerous the internet has become. I don't understand, I mean I do but how have people raped others through the internet. What exactly is the internet? How have people somehow manipulated others and convinced them into meeting them. The internet is a gateway into a different world, where you can be a different person. Maybe this is why people love it so much and become addicted. Perhaps people feel hidden behind their computer and feel like they can't be judged. I guess the internet allows people to get in touch with people and not be concerned with their appearance. With things like myspace and facebook I guess you can look at other people without them knowing that you are the one looking at their personal lives being broadcasted on the internet. But I guess when people have facebooks and myspaces they know that their personal lives are no longer that personal and private. Today, it is funny how much of our lives and gossip relates back to myspace and facebook. It is also funny how much attention people give to myspace and facebook, people can automatically know the latest by looking at facebook pictures or can myspace "spy." For example on myspace people can read a comment conversation by going back and forth between two myspaces and read the comments they left each other. Or if someone wants to find out the martial status on somebody, they can check their status and see who is on their top 8 or top 20 and where. I guess the internet is a place where you can be anybody you want to be.
