the internet.
NARRATOR
The internet has has been around for
just over half of a decade, in them
years it has had a drastic
transformation.
footage of someone opening a popular social media app.
NARRATOR
From the first ever network email to
snapchat, so many changes have taken
place over the years. With that comes
both positive and negative, this is
what we will be exploring today. More
specifically, the positive and
negative impacts on the younger people
of today.

NARRATOR
From where the internet is at today,
it makes it extremely easy to access
ANYTHING. This has both positive and
negative results.
Footage of someone scrolling through the search page.
NARRATOR
Exploring the negatives in this
situation, this includes mainly and
most worryingly,
18+ sign on screen
younger people being exposed to
graphic content too young and/or just
in general. The obvious reason of this
being a negative thing is the mental
impact it can have on young people.
Another con to the internet is how
reliant young people have became on
being able to search everything up.

But with that, comes the positive of
everything being at you fingertips, is
... everything being in your
fingertips.
Another positive for the stage
technology is at now (but more
specifically, the internet) is how
easily being able to stay in touch,
arrange plans etc it is with friends.
It is just as easy as picking up your
phone and sending a text on the
countless amount of apps that allow
you to do that such as the normal
messaging app that comes with every
phone and apps that require WiFi or 4g
such as Snapchat, Instagram etc.
This is a positive as how this helps
people stay in touch with each other
and keep connections.
Within that, also falls the
opportunity to meet new, like-minded
people. As previously mentioned, it is
easy to connect to people who you know
to the internet, this also gives the
space for people to meet new people
due to the internet because of
different social media platforms and
apps.
But with this, comes dangers. Since
you can be whoever you want online a
lot more easier than in person,
catfishing can happen. This is when
someone pretends to be someone else
and this can be used for any type of
gain ranging from something not that
serious such as looking for love etc,
minor financial gain to serious
financial gain, kidnapping etc. This
can turn extremely dangerous fast in
some scenarios. But this is still a
negative even when it is on the more
milder side of things.

NARRATOR
How this even works is when you send a
text, no matter the app/platform, it
will firstly send the text to a
telecommunication tower. Afterwards it
will then match up the phone number or
ip address to which telecommunication
tower is the closest to the phone or
device by communicating with the tower
and then sending it to there. If the
phone can not communicate, there will
be no signal. The control channel will
map the path for the text message by
doing what was previously mentioned.
Another negative that can happen
