Recently, internet has influenced me the most. As a student, I frequently have to face projects and assignments that require internet-based researches, which means that I usually have to have an easy access to internet. Consequently, when I feel like I want to take a rest or simply want to read some news, I can easily go to other web sites to read.
Internet may have a lot of power on its readers because sometimes it provides biased information. Unless it's a formal news web site such as CNN.com, news on personal blogs or web pages may include the writer's opinions as well as comments from the other readers. As result, reading articles and news with strongly biased information from the internet may establish a biased minds on the readers.
I have had similar experience as well. For instance, I used to not have any prejudice. However, after reading articles about how the Chinese audiences disturbed the olympic games, I started to hate the Chinese. Even though it's true that the Chineses have shown bad manners, it may partly be due to those prejudiced comments and articles that I, too, began to develop prejudice. Hopefully, someday internet would establish rather positive attitudes on the readers.
