in this case, i would say that the internet is faster for research but this does’nt mean that it is better for research. If I was given enough time to research in the Librabry may be I have something  better than what I got in the internet.

Jad, you still don’t have an essay on internet censorship. Please answer the following questions in essay form and post it as an entry on this blog. Choose Censorship among the categories.

1. What is internet censorship?

2. Is there internet censorship in the Philippines?

3. Compare the Philippine situation with those in China, Singapore and Myanmar.

- oOo -

Joy, you missed a classroom exercise that was timed. Here’s what you’ll do:

Your topic is Mary Boleyn. You will have to find info about Mary Boleyn from the 1) school library and 2) the internet.

Part 1: Do all this within 10 minutes. Go to the library and find everything you can about Mary Boleyn using any book or books. Specifically, you are looking for info about who she was (historical significance), when she was born and when she died. DO NOT spend more than 10 minutes. If you find nothing in the library within 10 minutes, that’s okay. Just say you found nothing.

Part 2: Go online and search the Internet for Mary Boleyn. Again, time yourself in minutes and seconds and take note how long it took you to find out who she was, when she was born and when she died.

Post an entry on this blog (category: Library versus Internet). Give the information you found in the library AND how long it took you to find the info. Do the same with what you found on the web and remember to provide the time stamp too.

Amy Winehouse was caught on camera doing cocaine. This disproves all her replies on denying the intake of drugs. Sadly, because of the video, which is now available for public viewing, she has gone to rehab even if her song “Rehab” suggests that she would never go. In my opinion these tapes should never have been shot. A celebrity is still a human being who has rights of their own and most paparazzi tend to forget that. They need respect like any other person who trots on this planet. Because of this unfortunate event her stardom may take a break or, since Hollywood is a place where anything can happen, even grow due to the publicity she’s getting. As they say any publicity is good publicity.

Yes, I agree on this if it’s going to be in the UK. The United Kingdom just like the United States, and China both had already been at the peak of their economy mostly because of both computers and the web, it’s about time for them to use for educational purposes, and what better way to do that than doing PTCs in the web and make it a way for parents to check up on their child’s educational standing towards school.

This can’t be applied to the Philippines because as we can see that a large percentage of adults in our country either knows a little about the web and computers itself, and worse, doesn’t know anything anything about both at all. This is because most of them came from a poor family since the reign of the Japanese, and Marcos. Actually, internet is really fresh for the most of us, so I don’t think we Filipinos still have the capacity to carry this opportunity to let our parents to have the chance to get the chance to see our report cards on the web.

Internet censorship is the way where webmasters can control their sites in which they take out the over malicious contents in it or just hide it from the under aged users.

The senate is starting to proliferate the “malicious” contents on every site that are on the ISPs inside the Philippines, but most people contradict with it because they might take out the contents that are morally unacceptable such as government critical essays, adult-only-arts, or even the addicting MMORPGs.  

China has laws on internet censorship, but these laws are not nationwide. Most pornographic sites are banned from a city, but sometimes the same site is allowed on another city.

In Singapore, internet censorship is taken to the fullest importance, because the populace is very conservative. Not only pornographic sites are banned, but also political, racial, and religious content are also not allowed in the ISPs of this country. This is done to avoid upsetting the delicate multi-racial society.

Last, in Myanmar, since its 2007 anti-government protest, the government completely shut down all its internet sites.

    The internet, with its ease of access, has proven to be a valuable research tool to every student. The vastness of the world wide web provides users with information on almost any topic. Some people , however, say that the internet has made our students dumb because it is just too easy. They say that the books are still the proper way of researching. We were given the task of testing the efficiency of the internet versus the old school way (library).

I had to know about Charles Lindbergh. I ran to my local library and searched for an encyclopedia with his name in it. I found one in 5 minutes, getting jabar in the process. I then searched for this man on the web. It took me 8 seconds with dry arm pits. There is no doubt which of the two is better.

It really is a pain that some people downplay the usefulness and the validity of the web. It is much faster, has more information and it is very convenient. Some people though criticize the internet saying that it makes the people dumb. Just because something is much faster doesn’t make the students incapable beings. It’s like saying that faster cars are bad because it makes the people dumb by taking the people to their destination faster (by not giving them more driving time).

The Internet is the future and there is no doubt about it. It will be the mother source of everything in the next years. Let’s just hope the sour-graping book club extremists realize this as well.

whatever6585043

b) I chose whatever6585043 as my username on Multiply because, I consider my house as one of the most boring places in this world. The word “whatever” is an expression that shows that you’re bored or doesn’t appreciate what it is and for me, thats my house. And I can only check and upload on my Multiply account, because outside, I only play online games, nothing more. And 6585043 is of course, my house’s telephone number. So whatever + 6585043 = I’m bored when I’m at home. Thanks for reading.
