12.Internet

Internet is something relatively new, and unknown for the normal people. Unknown, because they are able to use it only in order to do a few things. And there is a lot of possibilities.

Good things about Internet:
-a big access to information, including news, e-books, opinions of other people.
-it is fast and easy - paying online, buying goods online, even selling them.
-it provides an entertainment - online games.
-a contact with other people, our friends - chats, skype, messengers, 'my space'

Bad things about Internet:
-access is (in the most cases) unlimited - pornography, vulgarisms, and so called 'bad sites' which are available also for kids
-there is a danger, if we don't have to go out to buy something or to meet with friends, that we become less social people (human being is a part of the society, and rather cannon exists without it).
-our contacts with the others may be less personal, without a body language (a main part -70% of our message)
-viruses and spam

In China, Internet is a powerful machine used be government. Most pages are banned, only these of main political party are not at all, there is a police in the Internet:Using Internet in China, you will see them from time to time, to remind you that they know everything what you doing. What is interesting - 93% of Chinese opposition's site is inaccessible, and only 7% these with pornography. Google claims that their policy is open, without any restrictions, but it seems not to be truth.
