Problems of Working on the Net
Hi, I am Tom. You must be confusing to hear me thinking what problems this little boy can have. Although I am just in form 7, my life is already disaster.
Everything started on my 13th birthday. I was so delighted when my father gifted me a laptop full of modern softwares and you know, moreover it was connected to internet via Wi-Fi. Wow, it was exact what I was looking forward to for the last years. We are five children in our family and we can t always afford everything we want. So you can understand what laptop meant to me. I dived into net. World wide web whirled me and I started to browse websites looking for something entertaining. Social nets and on-line games attracted my attention most of all. First I started spending hours than whole days
sitting in front of computer being nervous if I lose in Counter strike, the game which is popular with teens. Or I used to chatting with my on-line friends about nonsense. I was addicted to the net and couldn't imagine a second without it. I ate being on-line, went to school not leaving it, and I fell asleep embracing my laptop. I got along with different guys whom I looked up who lived in our region. Their influence on me was increasing day by day. My virtual life was fascinating. It was much more exciting than real life. It lasted till I fell out with my chaps. Then the thriller started. Oh my God, it was horrible. They threatened me using impolite words, looking down on me. I was bullied online. I logged out, thinking that the nightmare would stop, but I was wrong. Bullying transferred into my real life. Guys chased me picking on me, putting me down and beating me. I didn't know what to do. I was threatened to be killed if I tell something to somebody. They do it on purpose just to entertain themselves. I am afraid... I am scared of them.
Now, I am going to be dropped out of school as I've failed my exams and my dad is called to school. He was so proud of me. But now.. .(sigh) I need your help...
Hello, Dears. I am Lola, a second year student. Since I entered university, Internet became my best friend. By surfing the net I got acquainted with various useful sites, created my e-mail account, enlarged my database, improved my computer-literate skills, and expanded my network by making friends not only from our country but also from all over the world. By means of internet I have improved my IT skills and knowledge on my subjects, as I am used to calling up web-based materials I required to know. At the push of button I am able to get anything I need. Huh, (laughter)Just incredible! But... You know guys, on the other day, I got a strange e-mail, that was in my Spam box. I opened it in order to read it considering it a usual message I often deliver or get. As a sudden, my computer crashed and refused to obey me, you know. I didn't catch on what was happening, (voice up) Consequently, I couldn't deal with it. Next day I took my treasure (laughs) to the computer programmer who set out that my kid/laptop was hacked or cracked, something like that, and it has such a bug that consumes my information, (pity sigh) Oh my God, being 20 years old I have no idea about cracking and hacking, (laughs with sorrow.)However, because of them I lost all my material I was collecting so long, even my own articles and research work results, as I didn't have a back up copy of my work. (Sigh), I am sure it is illegal for anybody to destroy information in this way. It is unfair! Spamming, cracking, hacking on purpose... (with anger and sorrow for her material) I think we should figure out a solution to cope with these kind of staff. We should...
