Internet Reading Assignment

The article I chose to read was "Leave it Alone" by H. Burke Peterson.

I feel like I learned so much from these articles. I honestly didn't think I'd get out of them as much as I did. I think the biggest thing I learned is that pornography isn't the only addictive thing on or about the internet. The internet itself can be addicting, or playing games, etc. So, these are things we need to be careful of as well.

I think when I have my own children before allowing them to just get on the internet and do whatever they want, we'll have a family home evening lesson about internet and internet safety and we'll establish some rules as a family. Also, we'll get some sort of protection against pop-ups and dangerous websites.

I feel like what I have learned can help me to have a positive influence on my family and friends because I know the internet isn't bad. It can do a lot of good, we just have to be smart about it and use good judgement. But it can be used for good!
