Internet as a right?

I think that using the Internet is a human right. When it comes to studying, reading and receiving information, internet is the same thing as a pubic library. For example if I have to do a report on America’s history for school, instead of going to the library, I can surf the Internet on my computer and get my resources and information.

Many companies rely on the Internet to make money. If the government makes using the Internet for public uses illegal, the whole country will suffer. Many billion dollar companies make/use technology that involves access to the Internet. Apple Inc. products all can somehow access the World Wide Web, and if that feature is removed, many people will stop purchasing of the Mac’s. The website Amazon.com basically runs off the Internet. People make orders on the website that are sent through the Internet into an Amazon Warehouse and have the purchases item shipped to the costumer.

I truly think that the use of Internet for the public is a human right and that if the government changes that, many things will change.
