Clicking on the Internet-Button is getting more and more stirring
nowadays. Sometimes it is a real jaunt not being certain if you have downloaded
a virus or if it is only a hoax. You even cannot be sure to be alone if you are
alone. Is there someone else working on my computer or is it only me? To have
more safety you have to install a firewall, purchase anti-virus-programmed and
update them regularly. So you have to spend much money only for preventing a
virus-caused breakdown or hacker-attacks. It is annoying not being sure if the
money you have spent will avert all those things or if there are already a new
virus and a new way hacking into computers. This is no more an investment into
safety it is a solid expenditure which will not end. Some people even have to
take up a loan to buy a computer. They are forced to buy one. Otherwise they
maybe would not be able to stay in their job. What will the poor people do?
They will be scarcely ever informed about news and the space between rich and
poor will become bigger and bigger. Having downloaded the newest
anti-virus-program it will not prevent meeting bad people on the internet. If
you chat with someone you cannot be sure about the truth of his/her words. Most
people cheat emotions, cheat about their appearance, age, job. That can be
funny but if you want to meet someone talking to each other gravely it can be
hard to do so. Is it a man, is it a woman or is it someone I already know? You
never can be sure. Is that something on the other side already hack into my
computer appraisal personal information? If you get to a web site of a bank –
is it a real bank or only a faked one? There have to be some signs which
identify an original website reliably. How can I be sure if I want to buy
something on the web and send my credit card-number that nobody will read it?
Imagine the following scene: You are surfing through the internet and suddenly
– you are just downloading the latest screensaver of Verona Busch – the whole
internet breaks down. What would you do? Trying to make your own internet?
Worrying about the lack of Verona? Sitting in front of the computer to come for
hours and looking into a black screen? Seriously, what would happen? I think
most of the people would wait an hour or longer. Some people would stop to be
had because they have no real life. They only survive on the internet with
their avatars in the chat rooms. They have given up reality for cyberspace. It
is more practical for them because they do not need to ask someone to meet
someone. The other one is just on the other end. Seriously talking, I think
people would not be glad about having to get out of their rooms. They feel tight
about leaving their beloved computer. They do not know what to do. I think many
even do not know any more how a book looks like or a typewriter. Besides losing
our social abilities we are also losing our every-day-abilities. The computer
is a nanny, a dictionary, an information center, a job, a shopping center.
Nobody has to know everything about everyday business because the mainframe
does it for us.
