We've ceded control to the machines. The internet has become an essential part of our lives, even public schools are beginning to offer classes on how to actually use a computer to access the internet.

When we scroll through facebook or through any social media we just read information that are eye catching and never bother to …show more content…
The internet gives everyone and anyone access to write whatever they please or billions of people to see and read even if the information is harmful, people will still read it and share it. The internet is a playing field for villains. Perez Hilton is a villain because he uses information to gain fame, not to serve any good purposes. SOme people might consider edward Snowden a villain also, but I disagree. Edward Snowden is known for leaking government documents on the internet to let the world know that the government has technology to psy on citizens. This act is not villainy because Edward Snowden used the internet to leak information in order in hopes to warn and raise awareness for what he believed in. Perez Hilton on the other hand leaks information, not to better educate the world but to cause drama and gain wealth. Edward Snowden believed that the people should know that their privacy could and will be invaded therefore he shared those documents to warn them, while Hilton shared and leaked private documents to harass

    After reading Brandon Jones’, “Rhetorical Criticism of a Online Discourse,” I came to the realization that online discourse communities are very similar to real life discourse communities. With this in mind, I would argue that when using the internet, people should be treated with the same respect that they are receive in real life.

In an era where such an emphasis is placed on the prevention of cyber bullying, inclusion, and equality, one would think that mutual respect would…
