The Internet is a great tool that enables anyone in the world to easily and instantly communicate and gather needed information. With WiFi technology, this enables people to easily surf the Internet virtually anywhere in public. As a result, a group of people may be using the same wireless band. This may mean less Internet speed for users and the risk of identity theft over wireless transactions. But, with advanced Internet security policies created by the U.S government, this can force Internet and wireless technology companies to provide secure means of safe and private internet transactions.
The U.S government is responsible for promoting the health and well-being of tens and thousands of people in the U.S. They are funded by tax money from tax payers. Elected officials who are chosen and voted and trusted upon by the public, are relied upon to run the government the way the public wants them to run. The U.S government is looked and relied upon to help provide the means and power to regulate and enforce social and health policies that individuals may not be able to do on their own. As part of their assumed duties, the U.S government is looked at as an Internet police, in which they help to police and regulate internet from posing potential and serious physical and social harms to U.S society and its citizens. They also help to prevent a U.S company from having a sole monopoly in a particular business, in which it may result in unfair business practices and competition.
As the lives of U.S citizens and the demands of the world continually increase overtime, people demands for a particular technology will also increase. As a result, their lives may become more hectic than in the past and constantly feel less satisfied without constant possession of a particular piece of technology. For me, I feel that advanced and wireless technology has made people more greedy and demanding of new technology. As a result, people are not happy for a long time and cannot settle for what they have. For me, I am guilty for being someone who cannot leave the house without his cell phone. The instant gratifications and communications that cell phones provide help in rewarding my behavior for using and owning a cell phone. Although I love my cell phone, I realize the importance of having and maintaining physical and social contacts with my family and friends. A cell phone is replaceable, but friends and family are hard to replace when they are no longer a part of an individual’s life.
I feel T.V and not the Internet is where politicians focus their promotion of Ad campaigns. T.V is almost available and is constantly looked at by people in public and private places. The Internet is only accessible to those who either use the Internet or have access to it.
As Internet technology improves overtime and is easily accessible in rural and remote areas of the U.S, this can help to bridge the gap between the poor and the rich. As a result, everyone is able to have the same rights and access to virtually get any U.S government information online. Although
Although online U.S government information can reduce the need for people to leave their homes, I feel that this cannot replace face to face interactions. People need physical assurance and comfort about getting questions, concerns and needs met and heard.

I didn't even think about this,but I agree with Matt that people still need physical assurance and comfort about getting questions, concerns and needs met and heard. I think that we tend to get so into our new technology that we forget that seeing someone online or reading about them is not the same as meeting them face to face.
I know I am very guilty of that very same thing. I have come close to viewing people I meet online or read about as someone I know. You are very right though, people definatly still need the physical assurance of real world contact. Because in terms of online relationships and knowledge, you constantly have to question whats true or not.
