Is the Spider Living in the World Wide Web Poisonous? Or Not?

After going through all of my classmates’ blogs, I have come to the conclusion that my peers and I seem very similar when it comes to surfing the web. In pretty much everyone’s case, Facebook takes up the majority of time when it comes to internet use. Time is also well spent checking and responding to emails, which actually can be very time-consuming. There are also many music websites that are popular to visit, because let’s just face it, everyone likes their own form of music. Then there is YouTube…anyone and everyone can find something to enjoy on YouTube. Whether it is music videos, comedy, or movie trailers, there is something for everyone on YouTube.

Other than these sites and maybe a few others, it then comes down to the more specific sites that one person may love and use all of the time, and another may despise and never use. Just to name a few, sites like espn, Wikipedia, blogging sites, and newspaper sites may be visited many times by some, but not so many by others. I am not saying that these sites are disadvantageous, but rather I am saying that different people have their own personalities, and these personalities naturally do not accommodate all forms of entertainment/learning.

So, I guess it is safe to say that the world wide web has become very prominent in our society, a very, very large crutch, if you will. People can use the internet for so many different things—that is the beauty of it. It is a place with no or very few regulations, where people can do seemingly limitless tasks. I feel that our society has definitely passed the point to where people will be bored out of their minds if for some reason the internet was unavailable. I mean, this is not completely a bad thing. At least we are using the resources that we have. But being too attached to something or relying too much on something is certainly never a good thing.
