You hear doom and gloom about the Internet ruining young people's command of English - that's nonsense.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The internet has been a boon and a curse for teenagers.
I think it's a bit silly to brand the Internet as the 'downfall of youth.'
When you have strict censorship of the internet, young students cannot receive a full education. Their view of the world is imbalanced. There can be no true discussion of the issues.
Children who use the Internet are much better informed than when I was young. Use this to your advantage.
The Internet plays an ever more significant role in the sedulous promotion of terrorism. We know that in the U.K., groups gather to view the preaching of violent men located many thousands of miles away and that this does have a powerful effect on young minds.
The mass culture of childhood right now is astonishingly technical. Little kids know their Unix path punctuation so they can get around the Web, and they know their HTML and stuff. It's pretty shocking to me.
The implications of so many people connected to the Internet all the time from the standpoint of education is incredible.
When I talk about the Internet, it's because young people are there. TV and radio are still what moves the masses, and you can't ignore that. But you also have to feed that monster that grows daily, which is the Internet.
My opinion, young people go to the Internet. To the Internet distribution system right now, you put it up there and it's accessed by the world.
I think that what computers have done is just disastrous to the language.
