Net neutrality is very important for teens to know about, because it can greatly impact their future. Without net neutrality, many of the websites that teens want to visit would be blocked. Teens should know that it will affect their parents also, because their parents will be the ones paying to use certain sites. It is unnecessary, because its already enough that we are paying for internet access, so why should we pay to use it. This generation of teens will not fare well from net neutrality.

Net neutrality can affect a teens learning abilities. For example, many schools, such as SLA are tech based. So if there is no net neutrality, their learning sites will be very limited and their school will have to require more money to pay for the blocked sites. Net neutrality could possibly ruin a school, because it discriminates against the middle and lower class citizens who can’t afford to pay to use certain sites. Public schools will require more money from the government, and this could cripple our financial state.

Teens should know who is supporting net neutrality and who is against it. Once they know all about how crazy the people against it are, they will possibly take actions against it. We must empower young teens to raise their fists for net neutrality. Net neutrality is what keeps the internet growing and thriving. It also keeps I.S.P.’s out of shady deals. This generation of teens is the generation that can save the internet, and that is why it is important for teens to know about net neutrality.

The reason I made my slide the way it is, is because the color blue seems to be a cool color which is usually appealing to the average human eye. I used the Caesar Dressing font because this font is used by The Caesar Hotel which is an eye capturing hotel and most people look at  because of its font. The reason I chose to use the words I did is because people like the truth so thats what I gave them. I added that animated picture of me because it went with the theme of the slide and also told who I am. The picture shows me wearing a hoodie of my favorite color which is blue. It also shows me with a controller and headphones which represents me being a gamer. I left the background white because it would help draw more attention to my slide. In a way it’s like moth to a flame. I left everything spaced out but not too spaced out because this gives people a sense of organization but not a sense of emptiness. This is my slide.

Why is Net Neutrality important for teens to know about? Net Neutrality is important for teens to know about because it teaches teens the basics of the internet. It teaches them more than what they know or what they think they know. Without net neutrality the internet would basically be a mess. Net neutrality is our internet’s “savior”.

Net neutrality controls ISPs. ISPs are middle mans and without net neutrality they wouldn't be fair and equitable. An ISP is a middle man because it receives the interweb, and then sells it at high prices to the consumers. It also limits the speed and access. You have to pay more money to get faster speeds, and access to more websites.

Also, without net neutrality, ISPs would be able to create new plans to charge customers more for access and services. This affects us because it would be harder for us to interact online. The internet can become similar to the cable television. Gatekeepers control what we can and get to watch. This unproductive use of the internet may destroy its quality.

Today internet users have open internet, which gives them the ability to access any resource. There is this big debate on whether net neutrality should be required by law. ¨Net neutrality is the principle that internet service providers and governments should treat all data on the internet equally, not discriminating or charging differentially by user, content, site, platform, application, type of attached equipment, or mode of communication.¨ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_neutrality ) If net neutrality actually happens, this means that everyone with pay the same amount for the same amount of data. Also, this means that ISP’s will be able to restrict you from some websites or important information.

Some teens may not know about net neutrality, but it affects us the most.  For instance, We may not be able to access websites that we use on a regular like facebook or twitter. Since we are the next generation, when we get older we may have net neutrality as a new law. Teens rely on the internet so much that without certain access, It can cause many problems. We need to be aware of the rules that are involved in using the internet.

Net Neutrality will cause so many problems. For instance, it isn’t fair to people who pay a lot to get good internet because now they have to pay the same for the same quality of internet. ¨ If we all want to protect universal access to the communications networks that we all depend on to connect with ideas, information, and each other, then we must stand up for our rights to connect and communicate.¨ (http://www.redditblog.com/2014/05/only-you-can-protect-net-neutrality_13.html) The ISP shouldn’t have a say in what we use on the internet is we pay for it; This is abusing their power. People who don’t believe in net neutrality should take a stand to put a stop to this decision.

I think net neutrality is important for teens to know because we are the future. I think the internet is becoming more and more futuristic. I think we are gonna be the ones affected by what happens with Net Neutrality. I also think we should know about this because its about equality and thats a big part of life and a huge topic.

Net neutrality is really important because if net neutrality wasn’t a thing we would all be treated unfairly. The ISPs would be able to scheme us teens and have us pay more for services. By them doing this it would make online communicating much harder. This a problem because us teen do most of our communicating online. Communicating online has just become a way of life.

Teens should know about net neutrality because if we didn’t our future would be completely controlled by companies. Our world would be controlled by companies because technology and the internet is what we all depend on. Teens especially like me should know about net neutrality because thats online is where I turn in and do almost all my work. So that means net neutrality affects my education.
