Buffy and the Computer Demon

Watching this episode in class was actually humorous to me because the library professor kind of reminded me of my father. My dad DID NOT want the Internet in his house because all he ever heard about was how bad the Internet was and how much trouble you could get into. And of course he didn't want his daughter being abducted because that is all he thinks about. However, now he is an eBay feign!

I like the way the episode showed contrasts between those who like the Internet and those who despise it. Although it is an older show, I'm not sure how many people are out there who still imply that the Internet is a demon (pun intended).

It is scary the way anyone can hide behind a mask on the interent. When I was in middle school, I know my group of friends and I would talk to boys (or so we thought) on AIM and tell them that we were models or famous singers and we lived in Hollywood and partied all the time with celebrities. Sounds funny I know, but on the Internet we could be who we wanted to be without judgement.

In a nutshell, I believe that this episode sent out the message that yes the Internet is growing stronger and we are becoming more dependent on it, but we need to be careful of who we meet and what we say; especially when it comes to the younger generations.
