Because of its continued existence and constant use, the internet can be considered alive. Although it does not fall into the typical definition of alive since it is not a person, animal, or plant, but, it has meaning and purpose.
What do you love about the internet?
What I love about the internet is having the ability to visit or converse with family and friends across the United States and other countries also. Since the emergence of COVID-19 and living through this pandemic, on-line shopping has been a godsend. Researching different things, music, streaming movies, and skillfully navigating and driving any place I need to go, even in the boonies without difficulty, are other reasons I love the internet.
What scares you?
What scares me most about the internet is that is has become a hackers paradise, and privacy is becoming obsolete for all of us.
