The Internet has revolutionized
the computer and communications world like nothing before. The invention of the
telegraph, telephone, radio, and computer set the stage for this unprecedented
integration of capabilities. The Internet is at once a world-wide broadcasting
capability, a mechanism for information distribution, and a medium for
collaboration and interaction between individuals and their computers without
regard for geographic location. the internet started in the late 1980's and started to emerge form there on, however before that packet data date been the first basics forms of the internet.
the internet is a perfect example of how an iconic serice created moral panic
the video talks about when the internet first emerged explaining that only 8 people were in the network and 3 more people were going to be added on into it. the video talks about how the internet will not be used to make money but rather as a form information.
The internet was an example of moral panic also it created massive concerns and fears, the reason is because people fear things they don't understand or know how to use. based on research that i was able to find i found an articles that talks about the top 10 moral panics of all time with the interent being ranked at number 10.
the internet was first seen as a negative form of technology, it was suggested that the internet would not catch up. however evidently the internet has not only caught up but have revolutionized the world , becoming an form of technology that no business can operate without. from small businesses to massive institutions the internet have been used for everything including hospitals. however with more understanding the masses have now even ale to utilize the technology and benefit from it, however the internet was also very expensive at its early stages which would be another factor that had made people reluctant to use and support the internet.
This can be suggested with Google glass the reason for this is because because is very expensive and a new form of technology that is different, it can be argued that why it has been seen in a negative way. another argument is that when the internet was first released there were not enough laws nor understanding of cyber crime such as privacy concerns and copy right. therefore with more knowledge and more laws in place it is arguable that Google glass for that reason has been criticized. the documentary of the internet explains that many businesses that accessed it wanted it purely as a tool in order to create newspaper easily and be able to print documents quickly, but also did not want to earn any money however now is the complete opposite and now is used to make money. this is similar to my topic the reason is because currently Google glass has been criticized for possibly not being understood , therefore it is arguable that with time the glasses will be more supported and accepted by society for instance google glass being used in hospitals.

Today's popular concerns include the amorphous fear that the internet somehow rots your brain. The internet is apparently destroying our ability to contemplate the deep and serious issues of the day. As a result of exposure to so much data, we're now mental channel-hoppers, only capable of laughing at cat videos and writing inane comments on YouTube.
Other fears attached to the web are that having access to so many distractions at every digital twist and turn is ruining our ability to concentrate, making us a distracted generation too, possessed of the mental longevity of goldfish. Thanks internets.
