New Online World New Online Problems

The more information that we put on our online world will creates more problems in the real world. The push to do online billing and make everything digital will make it more difficult to conduct any business without the aid of the computer. All of our stores are computerized and this is leading to a complete monopoly of technology in business. It is increasing our dependency on computers and especially the internet. The laws do not protect the consumers rights over privacy of his economic persona. The laws about theft do not fully keep up with online theft. It is sometimes easier to convict a person who physically robs a store for a few hundred dollars. The people who steal millions online, get away with it and it is harder to prosecute them. There needs to be a huge adjustment to have we view the network and internet crimes. Not just money, but copyright information. There are many new problems out there because we are connected in this online community. There needs to more policing of the internet but also safeguards to stop a new government rule online that can become corrupt. This new world has to be controlled but not ruled by the elites. It is a very tricky situation. When online problems get out of control they will become our real world problems. The distinction between these two worlds are becoming more narrow by the day. I hope that the internet will be in control but not under control. This is a brave new world and I hope that we don't go back to 1984. This is a loaded statement but our direction of the world may depend more than ever on how we handle this online world.
