The Ugly

I can't even describe how ugly this article about the tor network is. It is crazy to think that people can go on this deep web and immediately be able to order so many bad things. The fact that the internet can give someone the ability to order drugs, guns, even hit-men so easily definitely shows the ugly side of the Internet. Before the internet it would be very hard for someone to order a hit-man when he was mad at someone, so hard that if the thought popped into his head he might just disregard it immediately. The fact that now the same man could just hop on the internet and hire someone to kill an enemy for 10 thousand dollars so easily really scares. The tor network is definitely a great example of how the internet can be ugly. I guess I have to be more careful of who I piss off now.

The Bad

This article about an 18 year old hacker playing games with the stock market definitely shows how the internet can be a bad thing. The fact that a group of people with some bad will can  can use a computer to negatively affect so many people just goes to show how the internet can be dangerous and bad. Not only did he scare people saying that a bomb exploded at the white house, but he also caused stocks to plunge, and it may not seem that bad but the stock markets can cause millions of people to go broke. The fact that someone can ruin so many people's lives so quickly just by using the internet definitely shows how the internet can be bad.

The Good

The Google person finder for the Boston Marathon explosions was a tool that allowed people who had loved ones at the Boston Marathon locate said love ones with the hope that they were okay. The Boston Marathon bombings where without a doubt a huge tragedy, and caused panic and anxiety among many people. The fact that such a simple internet tool could help alleviate the anxiety that some felt and help authorities to better focus on the problem at hand, rather than receiving calls from people looking for their loved ones goes to show just how good the internet can be.
