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

I would be pretty mad. I would lose the priviliges of chatting with my friends, playing games, wathcing videos. These thing are what make the internet fun. On some websites you can make an account and connect with your friends.

You can share things with your friends and chat when your not near each other. You can use the internet for research and for help or evidence. The internet holds many wonderful uses and it would be a shame to get rid of it.
