 4.) Discuss how you would feel if the Australian government banned the Internet. What privileges would you lose? (2 Paragraphs)

I would be very angry if the Australian government banned the internet because we wouldn’t be able to undertake PBL and use the good information and sources on the internet. We wouldn’t know as much or be as focused because we would have to read and find information by hunting for it where as the internet is a great idea because if you need to quickly check something you can just go on Google type what you need and look for a descent site and you’ve got it.

Many privileges would be lost like motivation, games, work, social etc.

These subjects play a big part in my life and you need the internet to find research or to talk to family or friends from different places around the world or doing work from home and posting it on word press  so the teachers can check it and even send messages telling you where you have gone wrong.
