Answer 1

The Internet has introduced improvements in technology, communication and online entertainment, but it is also incredibly useful for education purposes as well. Teachers use the Internet to supplement their lessons, and a number of prestigious universities have opened up free online lectures and courses to everyone. It has even allowed retired teachers to read to and educate children in poorer countries. Widespread use of the Internet has opened up a substantial amount of knowledge to a much broader range of people than ever before.

*Internet itself is neither. The Usage of Internet is a Real Matter. If we Use It as Positive. Like For Knowledge, and For Learning Some thing Etc . than it is Positive Social Activity. But If we Use It For Bad Things like, Games the destroy of Time, Films, Etc, than it s Anti-Social Activity.

*The internet is a medium for information, and humans are hunters. We are hunting information, much like we used to hunt animals for food. These days I can go to the store and just buy meat and veggies. Voila... no need to hunt, so I'm left hunting for other things... like answers to questions, or new questions to ask.
There is a pleasurable satisfation from getting an answer, so I keep looking for new questions and trying to find answers. It's kind of like a drug. Finding answers to question is like getting a high.
So the more we go, the more we want and as far as reality goes, time is money! We want to know NOW! We have too. In certain companies consultants are hired to answer question and paid quite well for it, think tanks are hired and expected to produce results fast.

I don't think the net has made us impatient, but it has made us more aware of information and we want an answer now!

It should it needs to

Yes the government needs to censor the internet. The internet is one of the fastest growing tool. And anyone can have access and can post either good or bad things. And if government does censor or can reduce the chance of people seeing wrong thing from the internet.
