    How has the internet changed the following? 
    • nature of information
    - We all are too reliant on the internet as we now use it for everything. In school we use it for teaching and learning new things. As it is a great way to access information, quickly.
    • communication

    - in my own view, communication has changed from the cause of the internet because as one wise person said : "we are alone together" because of the internet.
    • privacy
    - I think that privacy on the internet isn't protected as much as it could be. It almost seems acceptable to put personal business on social networking sites and put card details online. I think we as a community/society are too naive 
    • community
    - People depend too much on the internet as now they can access anything. This is changing the community because there's hardly any interaction between people as everything is accessible online. People believe in this online community almost feels like another world.
    • online safety
    - online safety has become an issue because everything has become available on the internet and there are loads of scams that can trick people into using it to put their details down. Scammers can target certain people in order to get their card details and use it for themselves. But online safety can relate to people broadcasting their whereabouts every minute, this can attract stalkers
