With great power comes great responsibility, and the power of speech is something to be used with carefully. In this day and age, bullying has transferred over to the Internet that has caused many deaths and suicides. Social media has also been a home to venomous language towards others, which has been a very touchy subject in this millennia. The Internet can't control who is putting what online, so sometimes people can abuse that power to hurt others

Although gaming can be fun, especially MMORPG's which allow a lot of personal customization of characters living in an alternate world, it can lead to addiction. The Internet can be a very distracting place, especially in the gaming world because people can get so caught up in their alternate reality they choose not to focus on their real lives. Because the Internet is so giving with entertainment, sometimes it's hard to stop

Again, the Internet provides it's users with a lot of power that can be abused. Lately, a lot of people are illegally downloading music, which is considered a piece of property owned by artists. Through the use of torrents and other illegal software systems, music is physically being robbed from artists making their hard deserved money. Even though only a select few percent of people illegally download music, it categorizes us humans as a whole in a negative way

Even though the Internet can provide great educational service, not everybody is able to learn the same way. There are many different learning and teaching styles that are different to everyone. Unfortunately, online courses only serve a very limited teaching style because it is not face to face in a class. A lot of students learn best when they are involved with hands-on activities and are audibly learning from an instructor

The bad thing about uploading multimedia to the Internet is that it permanently stays there forever, even though it may seem deleted by user. That's why it is also important to be mindful what you are uploading to the Internet because everything can be traced back to a source, and sources can be copied and shared by others. Therefore even though the Internet can produce stars, it can also harm them

Even though advertisements make the Internet free, sometimes their presence hinders the actual experience of the Internet. We have all experienced pop-up ads that blow up in front of the screen, and sometimes hurts our hands to click all the little "x's" to shut them. Sometimes closing them pops up even more ads! Depending on the website, ads can be an annoying factor while searching the web

Most people connect through the Internet with social media. Whether it's Facebook or dating sites, creating profiles and posting media and information is very popular. But today it's really easy to make fake profiles and be caught in a "Catfish" by one. Since the Internet is available to anyone, it is easy to get caught into identity trouble and could be talking and connecting to people whom they don't know

Even though have politicians have access to the Internet and social media, sometimes it can turn against their campaigns when they say the wrong things. Since the Internet is used by millions of people, what politicians say is going to stay on the Internet. Anthony Weiner, for example, after his scandal took to Twitter and Facebook to ward off any enemies. To his demise his political campaign and overall image suffered because of the negative posts he said for everyone to see

With the current boom in tablets and eReaders, a lot of large book companies have take a turn for the worst. Borders and Books a Million, for example, have all gone out of business because of their late start in the this industry, leaving a lot of jobs laid off. As well as troubled businesses, the eReader/Internet browser has created a whole new experience that is putting the paper industry down as a whole

Entertainment is a want in human lives, not a need. And not all entertainment is appropriate entertainment for certain audiences. Unfortunately with the Internet, inappropriate forms of entertainment can be accessed by the wrong people and send out certain messages. For instance, a little kid can accidentally pull up an adult website just by missing a letter while searching a video. So even though the Internet is good at entertaining, sometimes is hard to monitor the good from the bad entertainment

While Facebook is considered a trophy to the Internet, it can be one of the most distracting websites to be on especially when studying for tests. It's appeal to procrastination is sometimes too strong for "real life" scenarios.

Even though the Internet is very useful for saving time, it decreases the need for face-to-face interaction. Since a lot of job applications are mostly filled out online, it leaves the applicant at a loss to give the manager a face-to-face interaction which can be a deciding factor for a job opening or not. Good first impressions are always given with people interactions, not over an online resumé that can contain false information
