This is pretty late. It’s a funny story, actually. I thought I wasn’t going to finish this semester and just start again in the Spring, but now I’m actually coming back, so I’m going to do this project. I’m excited, because I have a lot to say about the Internet. After speaking about it all semester, this project gives us more room for creativity and leniency to voice our own opinions about the Internet.

My proposal is to talk about why people are constantly discussing the internet. Why this has become such a powerful topic for authors, scientists, and other careers. Why, instead of using the Internet to find great sources for arguments and cases, and create powerful tools for the advancement of society, do we find ourselves sitting and discussing the impacts the Internet has on us. Why can’t we just swallow up our opinions and all work together to use the Internet to help advance and further society? Was this phenomenon what Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and all of the other inventors had in mind when they created the Internet? In fact, what was on their minds when they created the Internet?

I think this source would be a good source to give background information, to help set the stage for my topic. http://www.health.am/psy/more/what-makes-the-internet-attractive/

I want to use some quotes from the Amber Case clip, and also try to find some clips from interviews from inventors, and from other people affected by technology. I am still debating using different sources at this point.
