Anyone that is caught violating Netiquette will be banned from the site.
it's necessary for online communication safety because if i victim is being threatened or harmed over the internet and there's no one enforcing the websites' rules the threatening will just go on-and-on for who knows how long. But if there's a prevent situations like this then people will feel safe and secure on the web. The people that violate netiquette will find themselves banned from the site. 1 person that violates netiquette banned means 10 -15 people saved from things like this.

What are the positive & negative consequences of technology?


At one time in life, they're were no computers, no keyboards, all it was was writing by hand.
When we got computers, we stopped talking on the phone, we were sending e-mails. Things we use to do, we don't have to do anymore. It's easy for everybody now. This is the negative consequences of technology.

On to the positive, with every bad there's a good. Good technology, things like GPS systems, Google Earth, surveillance cameras, and metal detectors. These are all good technology, because they help people in many ways.

For example : metal detectors help guards in airports, schools, all types of environments from danger. If a person comes somewhere with a weapon with no problem that puts a lot of people lives at risk.

Who do you most admire and why?

That's a good question, if i had to choose I'd definitely choose my mother. The reason i chose my mother is because she's always there for me, she feeds, clothe, and shelters me. She can be hard on me sometimes but I only know it's because she wants me to be successful and make it in this world. She's easy to talk to, she's real and doesn't hold any punches
. I mean, I can tell her anything, and she knows when something is wrong. She always makes me feel better and smile. It's like she knows exactly where it hurts. Man what would i be without my mother.

Why sites ask for so much..

You ask sometimes, why do you need this information.. all of this to register? The reasons for this is to keep your account safe.. now a days they're a lot of hackers, hacking into people's accounts. You never know what an account holds.. some personal information, maybe addresses to homes, maybe even bank card numbers. The reasons registration forms ask so much is because they care about your safety. Doing some research, I came across one of the top 10 worse hacking incidents of all time. Russian computer geek Vladimir Levin effected what can easily be called The Italian Job online - he was the first person to hack into a bank to extract money. Early 1995, he hacked into Citibank and robbed $10 million. Interpol arrested him in the UK in 1995, after he had transferred money to his accounts in the US, Finland, Holland, Germany and Israel. The reason the registry is such a hassle is to prevent things like this from happening.
