Internet Abuse

   The amount of resources and information the Internet contains is astounding. With the help of information collected on the net we gain vast knowledge. However, many people abuse the internet.The types of Internet abuse are spamming, virus & worms and hackers. Spamming is unsolicited e-mails. In 1997, AOL estimated spams make up a third of Internet mails. Examples of spamming is chain letters.It is sent by someone you know that require you to forward to all your friends, in order to win a prize, help someone , avoid misfortunes or pass lucks. Pop up windows which are not related to our visiting website is also another type of spamming.

     Very often, we will get virus from the e-mails that we receive. Therefore, we should not mails that come from people that we do no know. Besides, we might also get virus from downloads.  Infected PC become zombies to attack a larger remote computer, server or website, like MSN and Yahoo! Sometimes we might get server worms where web services become unavailable or Internet traffic becomes extremely slow.

     Some hackers do it for fun or personal gains. Hackers change the appearance of popular websites. Theft of confidential

information such as credit numbers and passwords are common. It’s becoming easier than ever to become hackers. Therefore, it is unsafe to disclose our credit card numbers when we buy things online.

   There are many consequences of Internet abuse. As an individual time is wasted in reading and deleting spam mails. It will also cause inconvenience because our mail box is full due to spam mails. We will become a victim and suffer from loss of productive hours due to an infected PC, loss of money due to theft of credit card information, embarrassment as private information being exposed and receiving harassed email.

Hanging out with my friend

   I don't hang out with friends a lot. However, once in a while I would. A few days ago, my friend, Alice and I went to a shopping centre. Alice lives near my house. So, my mom can fetch us to the shopping centre. We went at 10:00a.m. When we were in the car, we talk a lot. After half an hour, we reached the shopping centre.

     Alice and I went to cold storage. Actually I don't have anything to buy. Alice bought  a lot of things at Japanese food section such as Japanese sweets, instant noodle and some strange drinks. I saw many new stuff  in there. I wanted to buy a bar of chocolate, but when I see the price, it was too expensive. At last, I bought  a packet of kimchi. We paid for the things that we have bought and went out from the cold storage.

     Next, we went to a cosmetic shop. Alice wanted to buy some nail polish. I helped Alice to choose some  nail polish. After we bought the nail polish, we felt hungry. So, we go to the Mc donald to eat our lunch. Alice and I ordered two double cheese burger. We choose our seats and sat down. While we were eating, we chit-chat with each other.

    After we ate finish our lunch, I called my mom to fetch us. We waited outside the shopping mall. After half an hour, my mother came to the shopping mall. We boarded my mom's car. We also talk a lot with my mother in her car. Alice wanted to invite me to her home. I asked my mom and my mom said yes. Then, my mom fetch us to Alice's house.

     When I reached her house, I saw a dog. It is Alice's dog. The dog was very fierce to me. Alice said I can feed the dog so the dog won't bark at me. I tried to feed the dog by throwing the food to it. It catched the food and ate it.Alice called me to wait for a while bacause her room was very messy. She wanted to clean the room for a while. I went into her room and I saw some drawing was hanged at the wall. I also saw many small things everywhere.

    Alice and I were happy and tired. I stayed in her house until six o'clock. After I ate my dinner, I had a  shower and went to sleep. I was very happy because had a good time with my friend.
