The internet is always getting in trouble for misrepresentation, hacking, scandal and exploitation but in its foundations, its really a gift to humanity. Welcome to the Brightside of the Internet, my blog. The point of this blog is to get back to the fundamental positives of the internet. How it creates space for communication, education, breaking down cultural barriers and access to services that were inaccessible before.
My name is Ellen Dobner. I am a second year Communication and Media student at Bournemouth University writing this blog on social issues to do with Web and Mobile communication, however I don’t believe ‘social issues’ should be negative, so I am writing this blog to explain the positives of the internet.
