book questions 2, 3, and 5

2.    I think that there should be controls on who blogs. Professional people should be able to blog because they know what they are talking about. Amateurs should not be allowed to blog.
       I definetly see it as a way of distributing power to the people. It gives the public a way to make themselves to look professional even if they aren't. 
3.    For me, I put my nickname down as my name on social media sites. I also NEVER say where I live or what my last name is, and I never say where I go to school. If I did put my name and address in the internet I would not be very confident in the security of that.
       I take many steps in protecting my privacy. As I said before, I never tell anyone where I live or where I go to school. I never tell anyone my phone number unless I know the person personally.
5.    No I do not agree with Michael Powell. Everyone can access the internet if they want. It is a good way to say we all need to share. Granted there are people who should never have access to the internet, but we can't help that. There will be people like that. So what? We can't help that those people will be crazy. We just have to deal with it.
       I also think that everyone has a "right" to the internet because that is the way most of the world works now. Everyone runs on the internet. School, social sites, music, and government. That is where a lot of important documents and papers are. All in the memory of the internet. Yeah sure everyone can see them, but then we all know that they can't change what they say.
