REVIEW!!! october 1, oh nine.

a) How does the type of Internet connection influence the things you can do on the internet?

belive it or not the type of internet connection greaty effects the things you do on the internet. there are many types of internet conenctions. there is dial up, satilite internet connection, and DSL. Dial up being the slowest connction and dsl and cable modem service being the fastest. First of all not everyone has access to DSL internet, such as places in the farms and in away from the city. speecking as one who eperenced dial up and DSL, DSL is way better. you can do so much more in much less time. with the slowness of dial up, your only inclined to do the nessesities liek checking your email, or using it for a reaserch paper (mostly becuse you get frusterated with it and only use it when nessasary). With DSL, its a whole diffrent story, you end up surfing the web join online communites such as facebook and you jsut spend much more time online.

2) education
social and ethical issues:
->globalization and cultureal diversity
->eqaulity of access

1) ->art entertainment and leisure and globalization and cultureal diversity:
the world of the arts has incresed tenfold wit hthe creation of the internet, as a matter of fact whole new types of arts were created with the progression of the internet. peope from the UK can see videos done by people in saudi arabia and so on. the world on the internet is huge. youtube is a great way to expand the art and leisure as well as seeing it from other types of people. for example ive seen entertinment and the culture of new yorkens, and learned something that i wouldnt have lerned other wise, and i konw that someone form some other country watched the same thing. Aslo people from other countires can buy online art from other coutries, like paintings. new shows from other countries have been nitroduced with the web, and therfore we get experence a whole new culture.
-> art entertainment and leisure and eqality of access:
the bueaty of the internet is that everyone that has the internet can see the same thing that im seeing, where ver you are in the world. everone has this cetain right on the internet to express opnions on bloggs ect., which some cant even do outside the internet.

2) ->education and globalization:
there is so much that we learn from the internet about other cultures, and the wonderful thing about it is that its unbias. before, when americans learned about africa, they had and handful of textbooks about africa from the prespective of an American, it might have some facts but he can alos put his own opnion in there as well. now with the internet you can learn about afica from a person that actully lives in Africa, and then you can comparre and contrast and come to your own conclusion. also we can apply to diffrent univerities all around the world, where as before you would really konw od these universities.
->education and equality of access:
because of the Internet, we can see all the different universities, from other counties and everyone can apply, well mostly everyone. everyone can rad the same article on google and so on. the Internet has made education very accessible to everyone.
