-The Negative Side of the Internet-

Wow! Internet....Awesome invention! I am not sure if we, today, could survive without it. I honestly think we would go mad! The Internet is a wonderful thing that was made, but of course everything has their ups and downs. Everything, includes the Internet.
*
What I am about to say is very important, so don't look away quite yet.

*
Spam: we all have it in our emails, this is ONE thing that I think I could say, we all hate.
And I am pretty sure, that none of us, actually take the time to read any of that boring stuff, because it's ALWAYS advertising something for you to buy, or for you to get a virus.
-Definition for Spam-
electronic junk mail, an unsolicited, often commercial, message transmitted through the Internet as a mass mailing to a large number of recipients
*
Virus: This is what your computer/laptop gets when you click on something bad on the Internet.
You ALWAYS must watch out for these, it is a good idea to get a pop-up blocker in case, that way you don't make the mistake of getting a virus.
-Definition for Virus-
contagious computer program, a computer program that is part of another and inserts copies of itself, often damaging the integrity of stored data.
It travels with the program that contains it.
*
Crime Using Computers: illegal activities carried out on or by means of a computer.
Computer crime includes criminal trespass into another computer system, theft of computerized data, and the use of an on-line system to commit or aid in the commission of fraud.
Be sure not to do anything illegal on your computer/laptop by downloading something bad/illegal.

I hope you follow, think about, and listen to all that has been said right here... It might save you, or your computer one day. Even if you don't really think so, you never really know. Things can happen in life that we all don't quite understand... That is just the way our lives are. With out interesting things like that, life would not be quite as much fun. You need to remember that for the future, for whatever life has planned for you. I hope you choose to live your life wisely, and correctly at that. I really hope that you listen though, and not leave this page thinking that was a waste of my time. It really is not a waste of your time, this will really help you in the future. Thank you for reading, and understanding everything. Be sure to keep all of this in your mind, some where, anywhere in your mind.
