Hmm, is the internet public or private? I think it should be a little bit of both. The main issues, I think, are probably things like kids giving out too much information on the internet, copy write laws, easy accessibility to “inappropriate things” online. Now, why should the internet be more of a public forum? Simply because it has become the most accessible place for students to gain knowledge for projects, assignments and other school related things. Why should it be private? Because kids don’t know when enough is enough. I mean I am a self proclaimed facebook-aholic, but I know it’s not a good thing to put your phone number, address, etc. posted on facebook for a world full of creepers to see. I see kids going into high school with their entire lives available for anyone to view with one click of the mouse. Certain things should be made private other things should be public. There will never be a medium that is acceptable for both sides because the more you look into one perspective or the other, the easier it becomes to pick out more and more good and bad points for public and private internet.
