Children should not have access to such information. My final dissatisfaction with the Internet stems from the dependence on it that has emerged. For instance, phone conversations between my friends and I have decreased significantly. This is apparent even on Union's campus. We do not have to call long distance to speak with friends, yet we still send E-mail rather than call.
Businesses also rely on the Internet as a primary source of communication.
This detracts from the personal aspect of the work place and it also creates a detached atmosphere in which to conduct business. Through my college years, I have learned that personal contact with both professors and peers is essential to the education process. Conversations with these people have enlightened my years here, which I assume is true for many of you. Without conversing with my professors, my education would have lacked an essential aspect of the learning process, which is explaining my ideas and defending my positions on issues. Furthermore, because of deep and complex conversations I have developed strong friendships that will last the rest of my life.
