Is the Internet a Human Right?
I feel that the Internet is a human right because almost every aspect of life is through the internet. Each age group demands something different from the internet, for example a kid is going to want to interact with friends the most on the internet when they aren’t able to be together.
It also will be much easier for kids to communicate with their parents with updates in school much faster than ever before. It is relieving for the parents to know that they are just a few clicks away. Adults and young adults are going to need it for more job-oriented interactions.
(LinkedIn is an app you can use to look for and apply for jobs.)
If you asked this question 5 or 10 years ago, it would most likely be a different discussion, people would be fine living without the internet. Most if not all daily activities are through the internet, reading the news, social interactions, business meetings, traveling. The people who don’t have access to the internet will get out of the “loop” surprisingly fast. Stories develop quicker than ever as well as those stories get sent out to the public just as quick.
If someone has no access to the internet and they have to read a book for a certain situation, libraries are dropping more and more books each year, as a result the chances are relatively low of finding the exact book you need.
As we grow into adulthood, many friends end up moving away for jobs, and it would be a real bummer if you never got to communicate with them again. Another thing that stinks is no video games, especially if you’re a kid, a healthy amount of video games has such a positive impact on a kid’s childhood. Many of my favorite memories from my childhood are from playing games together with my closest friends.
