Cyberspace (Kevin Farr)

I really like the blog reading for this week, it was very interesting. This reading had some truth to it. People now a days are getting glued to their computer and being sucked into "cyberspace." People could sit on their computers for hours on end and with websites like Facebook, Ebay, and Addicting Games people are never bored. They are either meeting new people, shopping or playing their day away with computer games. If you do not pay attention to it you may end up being one of the people who are stuck in "cyberspace," always on the computer doing something pointless. The Internet does have some good aspects to it though, you can look up and infinite amount of information in fractions of second using Google or any other search engine. Even though you find millions of links on the topic you look up they are not always reliable. Websites like Wikipedia are not a reliable source for information. One reason why I know this is because one day Brett Favre's name was changed to Brett Farr by me, It was like that for a good hour before anybody seemed to notice. I did receive a message advising me not to do it again :P The point is that anybody can throw any information on the Internet and we wont really know if its true or not. This is why I feel that the overuse of technology is not a good thing. People are becoming to dependent on the Internet and "cyberspace" that they almost loose touch with reality and think that some online game that they play is their whole world.
