Internet Exposure

The Internet has made a great impact in many peoples life. Although it has helped us in many ways, it has also encouraged more problems in society. One of the most common problems due to the existence of the Internet today is  Cyber Stalking , where people can stalk and invade other peoples' privacy without any restrictions. To be more precise, the Internet has opened many doors for problems such as cyber stalking, cyber bullying, cyber love to be more accessible.

In society today, many people are brought up with the exposure to the Internet and some, especially children are unaware that the Internet is not the safest media. For example, sites like Facebook, My Space and others has encouraged individuals to network with random people from all around the world. Aside from that, it has given people the option of being a different person and having a different identity. According to this video, Autumn Edows chose the Internet because she realize it was her only escape from her real life problems. In addition to that, the Internet is also known to be an "escape-goat" for individuals that are less accepted in society. There has been many incidences, whereby teenagers treated the Internet more of a reality than just a media. According to this link on  cyber-bullying, a young girl killed herself due to the exposure of being on the Internet and being bullied online.

In a nutshell,  I believe people should be more media literate and careful when exposing themselves on the Internet.
