the Internet changes to the way to talk to people who you never meet around the world, but this new type of communication causes new concerns such as cyber bullying, identity theft.
Cyber bullies may be more agressive than traditional bullies, so we have to worry about them. Cyber bulling takes some forms, but sometimes cyber bullies want to malign someone else, so if you think that you are maligned on the Internet, you shuld tell someone who is familiar with the internet.
Identity theft , called phishing, is to send spam to get personal information. Indentity theft is one of the fastest increasing crimes in the US.Spam is junk mail sent by e-mail, also spam sometimes contains viruse, so people storing their personal information on their computer use password or firewall to protect their personal information.
crimes on the Internet will still keep growing in the future, however I think a decreasing in the crimes of the internet depends on how we treat the internet as appropriate thing.

Thank you for sharing this interesting article. I agree that it is important for people to be aware of how other people might use the internet in harmful ways. The internet grows and changes so rapidly that it easy for people to ignore or not realize what harmful social patterns might be developing.
