Reasons I Should Not Be Allowed on the Internet by Kristin Helms








       The internet allows certain privileges to people who should not be given these advantages. I am one of those people. The internet gives me access to unlimited jokes, Photoshop, costs money, and gives false information.
        Photoshop is the first reason I should not be allowed on the internet. This wonderful app allows me to crop my face onto any image I desire. For example, I recently cropped my face onto Meredith Grey’s while she was standing with Derek Shepherd. I also cropped my face onto a half cat-half whale. I should not be given this privilege.
        Internet is not only available on a computer, but also any cellular device when a data plan is purchased. What is a data plan? A data plan allows people to use the internet when they are not connected to Wi-Fi. When Wi-Fi is not available and you want to access the internet, just use data. However, you are limited to a certain amount of data each month. If the data limit is exceeded, the phone company will charge you a fee. I usually use a lot more data than I should and almost always go over my limit, resulting in a lecture from my mother on responsibility.
        The third reason I should be banned from the internet is a popular search engine called ‘Google’. Google lets people search basically anything. For instance, when I am sick with an average cold, I can Google my symptoms to figure out what deadly disease I have acquired this week. The internet lies. Google also allows me access to millions of joke websites. Naturally, I use these jokes at the most inappropriate times, resulting in judgment from my peers. I blame the internet.
        Photoshop, data limits, and Google are all trying to ruin my life. I have come to the conclusion that the internet is the reason for most of my problems: my empty bank account, judgment from peers, and unnecessary doctor appointments. If I was no longer allowed access to the internet my problems would most likely disappear.

  1. I love how you used examples (like where you said you cropped my face onto a half cat-half whale), but I would have loved to have seen the picture.

  2. I'm curious as to what inspired you to find a half cat- half whale picture in the first place? Also, if you ever feel you need to break off the Dr. Shepherd crush, look him up from any movie he was in during the 80's! (That would be the 1980's... Yes... I'm old.)

  3. The internet has brought a pleather of ridicule upon me as well and wasted my precious time. It is the leading cause for my self esteem issues and also the increasing amount of time I spend laying in bed, accomplishing nothing and watching videos of Grandmas learning strip tease. (don't try it, night terrors will follow) It made me feel better about myself that I am not the only one wasting time and getting yelled at monthly for my abusive tendencies towards my data, well done ;)

  4. I have also suffered the effects of the internet. Countless nights have been spent either binge watching Netflix or making, yet another, Pinterest board that was absolutely necessary. Going over my data limit is nothing new to me. I also made my prom picture 1000 times more interesting with photoshop! The internet has turned me into the world's best procrastinator as well. The multiple hours spent on Pinterest should have been dedicated to homework and studying. surely you can relate to me struggle.
