Social Networking first became popular as an outlet for teenagers narcissism. However as time progressed, it became more of the norm for people of have an internet site completely dedicated to themselves. With the advent of Facebook men and woman of all ages were exposed to this aspect of the internet, and twittered only helped to further popularize it. This ability to share one’s self is made entirely possible by the internet. It (the internet) is something that is considered unnecessary, but in actuality as we continue down the technological age the internet is becoming more of a necessity. With that in mind how can it be that something that is becoming more vital every day is deprived to so many people. Whether they be the homeless of New York City or the impoverished children of Rio the internet is unattainable. Does this not go against what the internet was made for. The creators of Google developed their website to unite the world’s knowledge for all to share, but this knowledge is not something we are sharing. I am not saying that people must have the internet to go on MySpace, but I am saying that the World Wide Web can be a device to help people learn and better themselves. It can be used to help the unemployed find work, a parent to find their child day care, or to help make people aware of the world they walk through every day. To give all people access to the internet is a grand idea, but one could always say are there not things more important. They could say would I just not give them food instead, or help to supply them with clean water. Yes, of course food and water are a necessity but people cannot just be given something and expect them to change. They need a tool in which through they can change. For some people the internet can be that tool, and though us American teenagers may go online to simply waste time we cannot forget the possibilities for what lays in front of us.
