How does the Internet help people from different countries to communicate with each other?

Th Internet helps people from different countries to communicate but it cost alot of money to make phone calls, sometimes you want the person to know right away and post ail is not an option. The Internet is faster and less expensive for example instant messaging and web cam can be used to communicate with a person in another country or even in a different location.

Do you think governments have the right to censor Internet?

I don't think Governments have the right to censor Internet because on top of them not providing financially for a household to have Internet it invades people privacy. Unless the government suspects a serious problem then that should be the only time they should be allowed to censor a computer

Do you think advertising plays an important role in how teenagers think?

I don't think advertising affects how teenagers think because I feel after a certain age especially during teenage years people should know the different between right and wrong and what's good or bad and they shouldn't let an advertisement contradict that.

Do you think using cell phone is bad for our physical or mental health? Why?

I don't think using cell phones cause physical problems but possibly mental because when people are using cell phones their minds go to other places and they are not concentrating on what they were doing. If it was anything like driving ten yes the person can be affected physically.

Have you used a chat site? Have you ever used voice chat? What do you think about it?

I have never used a chat site or voice chat because I think they are dangerous whether you see the person or they tell you everything about them because they could be lying. Many children homicide cases come from talking and meeting people from the Internet.

How often do you buy things online? List some items that you have purchased online. Do you like to purchase items online or in store. Explain your answer.

The only things I have brought from online was books from the Barnes and Noble bookstore and it is the only time I order anything from online. I would prefer purchasing items out of the store rather than from online because in the store its given directly to you it's chosen by you and there's no amount of time on waiting for the item.When an item from online a big risk is being taken because the item could be used, broken, stolen, or lost during the process of being delivered.

What do you think about governor Corzine's state budget proposal? He wants to raise income taxes on all properties. He wants to freeze state workers wages which means no pay raises. And he wants to force workers to take off one day a moth without pay.

I think it is unnecessary to make it mandatory for workers to take off a day without pay because taxes are already being raised and pay is being frozen which means workers need to have all the money they can and taking a day off work without pay doesn't help the situation any better.
