A Leap 30 Years Into the Future

I get out of bed, get dressed, and pull out some Oreos for breakfast. I then go to brush my teeth with my electric tooth brush, and comb my hair.

I get to class on my hover board, with only my laptop in hand. Everything is now done on the computer, the books are online and all the assignments are emailed to the professors. Even for math, there is a program that allows you to write math problems, symbols and all.

I then head to lunch, where you can do a self serve scanning of your card.

Later back in my dorm, I put on my 3D glasses and watch television or a movie.

The Internet: A Clear and Present Danger?

In this article, Cathleen A Cleaver points out the dangers faced by people on the Internet. The main danger in this article is pornogrophy. The author then goes on to explain the situation between today's children and pornogrophy.

If children are searching for something and do not know how to do so correctly, they might end up on a website that can “mess them up.” I myself sometimes ended up on a website with some disturbing pictures when I was still learning about the Internet.
