A Flame is a computer Virus or it is to insult someone over the Internet, I also believe the Internet is the flame, it can be used for either good or evil according to the user. The values of the user trickle back to the morals and values they were taught that fuel the flame. The Internet is a learning tool that can be used to increase knowledge, I use it all the time to check and recheck facts. I use it to learn things I do not already know or to expand my knowledge of things I already know. It can also be used for evil, people use it to expand their knowledge of hatred and to increase their social network of those with the same interests of hate and prejudice. Where others use it to connect with friends as I do on Facebook and Pinterest, those with evil in their soul use it to flame their common interest of hate. They can then search for specs on bomb making and terrorism; soon after the Internet has contributed to death, with 6 degrees of separation affecting us all. Internet is the flame of knowledge, children are the fuel learning at a faster pace and learning more taxing things at an earlier age, I watch my five year old run our computer faster and better than I can and she has only been on it for a year. My fourteen year old can write a paper better and use Google Docs, which I just learned about on Thanksgiving this year. I am stuck in the world of "Word." Good things, my brother invented a video game for children with depression, when they play it raises the serotonin levels so they don't have to take anti-depressants. Wonderful advancements, flaming creativity in an otherwise empty space. People socialize with others they would loose contact with due to distance or just no longer really having things in common thanks to the Internet. The bad they loose touch with their real world neighbors, wasting so much time, doing as some would see as nothing but waiting for status updates. They have also lost the intimacy of eye to eye communication and are more likely to say things they otherwise would not, initiating flame wars. Nothing but senseless insulting posts back and forth provoking each other with personal attacks. The choice is ours, I choose knowledge, expansion, and creativity, wasting time intermittently on Pinterest and Facebook seeing what my friends are doing, but I love my neighbors. I will not close myself off from society and become less friendly or hateful, I leave that to those with evil in their soul, but just because you can doesn't mean you should. I have no time for that, I thirst for knowledge and friendship. Remembering only on the Internet can a lonely person be popular!Tuesday, December 3, 2013
