2 ways that i would feel if australia banned the internet is sad and angry, the reasons why i would feel sad is because i won’t be able to go on msn and talk to ym frends when i am not at school. also i would feel sad because i won’t be able to go on bebo or myspace etc so i can send comments to my frends and ask them if they want to do anything on the weekend so then i would have to call them which is a waist of time while if the internet stayed i could ask them in no time because there would be no way i can call him if i had run out of credit or if i don’t noe there number.
the second thing that i woulf feel is fustrated because say i got homework and i needed to research a particular topic in history, it would take me heaps of time because then i would have to go to the library or go through my text book and find out what i need to do for the home, where as if they did not band the internet then i would be able to research and i would have more then one ste to choose from because the text book probably wouldn’t have enough information to write down in my book for that subject.
