Internet Ethics and the consumer's private existence in an unstable regulatory environment -- untapped economic waters in a wild, wild west of identity theft and chronic consumption

The Internet is the most useful invention of our generation. The accumulated effects of the Internet include significant contributions in the areas of education, the creation of jobs and furthering of professions, and an exponential increase in the amount and variety of entertainment for leisure time. It is the intent of this paper to evaluate the pros and cons or advantages and disadvantages of the Internet in the areas of education, professional and leisure activities. Advantages of the Internet in Education There are a myriad of contributions the Internet has made to education, in addition to the many innovations occurring today in the context of individualized instruction. The development of e-learning management systems for example, which can unify an entire semesters' worth of work together into a sequential, well-defined series of steps, has shown significant potential in providing students with long-term learning motivation (Paul, 251). These e-learning systems have also set the foundation of individualized learning plans having a high degree of autonomy, mastery and purpose engrained with them, further setting the foundation for long-term learning motivation and development (Paul, 252). The Internet continues to be instrumental in bridging the Digital Divide between those students who can't afford to relocate or attend classes in person, and instead attend online. This shift to a more egalitarian and open approach to providing courses is having a disruptive impact on the courses offered from such world-known educational institutions including University of California, Berkeley, Stanford, MIT and others. Many of these courses are offered free of charge and only require access to the Internet. In recent media reports regarding an artificial intelligence source offered in this format by Stanford University, thousands of people signed up and attended for free. The Internet is a very strong catalyst of positive change in global education as a result. Of the many innovations from a learning standpoint occurring today, the ability to tailor learning programs to the specific needs of students through a technique called scaffolding shows significant potential as well (Najjar, 37, 38). Scaffolding is the use of online applications to create a very unique and customized experience for students. These and many other innovations have made the Internet indispensable in assisting students attain their educational goals.
