In the article “Don’t BE A Stranger” one of them most immediate conflicts you notice is that the author find people look down on internet friendship. This is partly due to the negative stigma attached to the internet’s person to person experience back in the days of myspace in the early 2000s. When the news was pledged by stories of sexual predators and murderers finding easy pray vea the internet/myspace. Later claiming that there are even worst methods of tricking people. Referring to CatFishing, with is the act of purposely lying to other pretending to be older or younger than they are and to be more sexully and finatually mor attractive than try really are in hope to get someone to spend money on them or meet them to get a shot at them they would normally otherwise not get. This leads to relasonships being seen as sacams because of this. With the world of socal networking exploding due to the rise of Facebook and a world where you can always be can be logged in all the time. As well as all the sexual online application. All this has servearlly damges the image of the internet to outsides however tivieal it may be.

Thanks William–this is a nice start at a summary of Chen’s article. For Monday, we’ll be doing more with this article (see the revised assignment), but if you’d like to revise this I could see you writing a bit more about the story Chen tells in order to show how and why people shouldn’t “look down on internet friendship” (as you put it). Could you add a bit about that part of her essay?
Thanks,
M
Hello, William,
I like how in your essay you wrote that “As well as all the sexual online application. All this has severally damaged the image of the internet to outsides however trivial it may be”.
