What can internet do to a person...

Hi slovenc1, Chuck Norris did not turn 70, 70 turned Chuck Norris The Internet can have a great impact on a persons life bot positively and negatively. In my opinion people control what they put up for the world to see, so they have a certain degree of responsibility and the consequences. Tay Zonday and the Star Wars kid spring to mind of Internet success, both good and bad depending on your point of view.

It depends on the person how he react on the contents he read from the internet. Because almost everything is in the internet, we can almost see what we want like meeting new people, watching what we want, nurture our knowledge and be informed on the latest events on planet.

I heard a funny one on radio today: somebody said that Chuck Norris didn't turn 70; it was seventy who turned Chuck Norris. I think I wouldn't mind having and cashing in on Mr. Norris' fame or infamy. If the internet brought it on to him, then so what? I'm sure that as the world is laughing at him, he is laughing himself all the way to the bank.

The Internet can make a virtual nobody into a star pretty much over night. Or in the case of someone like Chuck Norris, a superstar into an absolute legend. The Internet has an unprecedented amount of exposure. There is pretty much instant access to everyone on the Internet. It is a good way for people to get their names and faces out there, at little cost to them. Or even without their direct input, someone can be looked at on the Internet. Of course, with everything else in life, there is a dark side to the Internet. A side that is pretty much ugly and can be rather disturbing at times. There are a lot of good people on the Internet but there are a lot of weirdos to be honest with you. Really not too different from real life come to think of it. Being under the constant watch of these people can be quite distressful. There are some people who are fans, then there are some people who are obsessive. The Internet has brought people of all types together, for better or for worse and that can have an affect on a person, once again for better or for worse. Hopefully not too bad, but there are some extreme cases.

I think the net like other forms of mass media tend to have their downsides, but its also up to the indivual as well. Most people can't disirn fact from fiction much anymore and it can cause a lot of problems. And, its all in how information is presented, and how that information is inturpted by the other users. Internet isn't souly responsible for people's downfalls, but it can be a huge impacting factor.
