lol ok

I think the net is a valuable research source plus a great way to communicate and socialize...

but

It can also be a breeding ground of antagonism, hate, bullying and crime

Does the good outweigh the bad or vice versa?

I see nothing bad about the internet. You'll hear the argument that it facilliates illegal things. The only concern there is kiddie porn. But by the same token, the printing press, the camera, and the postal service facilitate it too, and we can't really nix those.

What about the average surfer that doesn't visit web mastering resources where internet cons and safety are prominent issues? Do you think they are more prone to say spam and security issues than (for example) web masters?
