Net Neutrality

The video Humanity Labotomy on our class website on Net Neutrality has actually tied in nicely with our SAT practice essay where we were asked if it is the media that determines what we value? and also Mr. Watsons insight on accessibility. By essentialy privitizing the internet we allow telephone compainies like at&t to monopolize everything the internet provides us with today, news, creativity, etertainment, everything. They decide what goes on the internet, what we hear, and what we know. It would allow these corporations to angle stories one way, leaving out essential elements of different issues that could change the way we veiw them. If people think the media controls what we value today, imagine the influence of it if they control the internet. Everything we know would be fed to us, sort of like a telephone company communist cult, for lack of a better word. In order for things to run smoothly there is an esscence of balance that needs to be there. A yin- and yang, negative and positive, beautiful and ugly, what we like to hear verses what we need to hear, and somehow i cant see major corporations displaying the "ugly" problems that society faces and must resolve if they have the option to leave everyone (including themselves) in blissfull ignorance veiwing everything through rose colored lenses. Letting go of net neutrality would be like kissing opinion goodbye.
