What is your own vision for the future of the Internet, its advantages and disadvantages-both in your own life and in the quality of life on this planet?

Also consider what you have learned from course readings, discussions, and assignments such as( the online learning with covid and Children, screen time, Youtube, and how to control that)
which you respond to these questions and directives:
• We know that the architecture of the Internet makes it highly unlikely that the Internet would stop as Forster’s Machine does. However, think about how our lives have changed because of the Internet and whether you believe our lives have improved because of it.
•How does Forster’s vision help us understand the role of this technology in our lives?
•What is your own vision for the future of the Internet, its advantages and disadvantages-both in your own life and in the quality of life on this planet?
• Make four specific references to Forster’s story (in addition to identifying the six terms below within the essay). Include Forster’s name and the page number in the citation; for example, (Forster 12). Two of these references should be relevant quotations that you integrate (introduce) in your essay.
• Use a descriptive title reflecting the thesis or main point of your essay.
