Searching on the internet started off as a world wide phenomenon, but as of late there is so many different things that pop up using a search engine such as google has become more of a headache than anything and its very annoying. trying to do a research paper and find information has more copy write and plagiarism issues that using google isn't even worth it. Bing isn't terrible the amount of random things are cut down but  it still has not perfectly the art of searching on the internet. I don't think that will ever be perfected there is to much information on every level of the web to be able to pinpoint exactly what you are looking for by just typing in a couple words. But you know never only time will tell

Dark Side

The dark side of the internet is like walking into a bad neighborhood with all the chances of being robbed, raped and ransacked. Verbal internet bullying seems to be the biggest topic now a days when it comes to high school aged kids writing blogs sendings emails and writing on facebook to pick on one individual, what ever happen to a healthy fight or confronting someone to there face, everyone thinks they are a tough now because they can hide behind a computer and talk smack about people, well just shows you how culture has changed from the early 90s to now. Identity theft is another big problem with the internet, order from the wrong website and next thing you know you've bought 5 HD TV's and 6 computers and your in DEBT 10,000$ because some dueshebag stole your credit card information. Things like that really bother me stealing money from other people, I mean I understand its tough, but lets be serious people. Porn, the good the bad the ugly the freaky the weird, its all out there. I don't see the problem with internet Porn other than anyone any age can find it and watch it, but i mean im a guy, so who am i to judge porn. But the hookers on craigslist, just stop theres no need for that at all, just 200 roses (dollars) and im all yours for a night, ok if your on craigslist looking for a "john" im pretty sure shes not worth even looking at when your driving down the st. But anyway thats there lifestyle. Im done ranting for the week lataa

Ipad

The ipad is better for the environment as well as the classroom, not only will it eventually be the main teaching tool used in schools but it take out the text book completely being able to put the entire text book on a ipad. I personally will never own one they do not appeal to me i like reading of paper not off a computer screen but i think if they are started with young kids in school kids will be able to read it easier as they grow. the thing that does concern me though is what about kids actually writing papers and taking notes with a pencil, everything is turning into typing and copying with electronics that is my biggest concern, will the kids of the future know how to write, or will they just be fantastic typer's. news papers magazines and books will be found in the future only on the ipad, saving trees and paper to a point where they will be almost obsolete. Im not sure the type of effect it will have on business, but i think its biggest impact will be in the schools and on the environment. For people using the ipad now for social aspects almost as a laptop is a good start but i dont think we'll see the real power of this product for a couple more years when it becomes a little easier to afford and schools have the desire to fill up classrooms with ipads instead of computers until kids are required to have one for most high end schools and colleges. i know my brother who is 8 only wants one for the games thats all he talks about but the ipad is ment for more than just games, ibooks is the first big thing i see jumping off the ipad as far as app wise. being able to take all your text books in electronic form and be able to adjust the size, and font for easier viewing is amazing instead of lugging around 7 different books for a semester all that is needed is one ipad granted the book is available on an ipad. next thing is documents being able to signed on the ipad, it hasnt come get but im pretty sure its in the makings, once you are able to write electronicly on an ipad paper will be completely out sourced. there will be no need for any paper which is a great thing for the trees. it will put a lot of people in the paper business and logging industrys out of business but it is a huge step in going green. as far as the ipad goes i think its a great tool but we wont see its full potential for a couple more years.
