friday Review: questions

1- Why is file compression important on the Internet?
its the process of storing or compressing the size of a file so there is space to old other files, and you only bring it out when you need it. therefore it makes you computer able to go to any site. rather than a certain few that can "fit" in your computer's hard drive.

2- What new services are available as a result of the commercialization of the Internet? What new problems are arising as a result of that commercialization?
new things like online shopping come from the commercialization, also many networking sites and a lot of the Internet is ".com". a majority of people use ".com" sites. but it can also be a bad thing, because it can create new crime.

3- Residents of the People’s Republic of China can have their Internet access blocked for a period of time if they attempt to access banned sites. Do you feel this is an effective way for the Chinese government to control people’s behavior on the Internet?
honestly, there is no point to block certain sites because they will attempt to get on it someway or another, but i personally think bad sites SHOULD be blocked, and stopping their Internet access will serve as a reminder not to try it again. It is similar to the way a parent handles their child, you punish them for doing something wrong, and next time they think about doing it again they think of the punishment and refrain from it.
