Tapescript:

I think the internet is the greatest invention ever. Think how it has changed the world. So much information is out there. It has totally changed my life. I can now chat with friends, download music, buy books online, and get all the information I need for my homework. It usually took days or weeks to do any of these things before the internet.

I really like emails. They are so fast. And now I can make friends with people around the world easily. The feeling of waiting for emails from friends is awesome. A long way from the snail males, I used to know. I spend hours every day online. I think I am spending a little bit too much time on it. I'm sure that staring at a computer screen all day, isn't good for my eyes. I think the internet is also making me fat. I need to exercise a little bit more. The only thing I don't like about the internet, is that it can be hacked. I never put my personal information online, especially on social networking sites, like the Facebook.
