Will the Internet Fix Everything?

I hope that you know the answer to that question even before you started reading this post. With the spread of the internet and communication services, it is hard to miss the direct effect it has had on our lives and held the answers to many of problems and issues. It is a dangerous road to keep going down because we cannot rely on the internet and digital solutions for every single problem in our lives. The internet and technology is designed so that it is efficient and the user does not get distracted by the technology that they are using. This idea leads to the current reality of personal information being used by browsers and other websites. It this a good thing? My fear is that many institutions will eventually alter how they treat people who refuse to self-track. There are all sorts of political and moral implications here, and I'm not sure that we have grappled with any of them. What are your opinions on it?

  3. Despite the security issues that we face with the internet, it is still a very positive thing in the sense that it opens up a lot of communication services and by extension, makes information available and companies transparent.

  4. The data also affect web development which alters how pages appear for every person. It is definitely something to be further explored.
