For our assignment, I decided to browse the Internet in search of websites dealing with the issues that we have been discussing in class for the past two months. I finally came across a website titled “Current Internet Issues”. Upon viewing this website, the first page lists six current internet issues for Americans today, and then you are asked to choose the issue that is most relevant to your interests. After choosing one, the website brings you to another page with a number of modules listed that you must choose from in order to learn more about the issue that you had previously chosen. These modules remind me of the hypertext that we viewed in class because they lead you different ways and through multiple explanations of certain issues on a variety of topics. I chose the issue of censorship and freedom of speech because it was similar to the articles we read in CyberReader on censoring the Internet. I think this website is interesting because instead of cramming all of the information about Internet issues onto one page, the website lets the viewer choose which issue they would like to read about, and then directs them to a few modules to even further their choice of what to read. I like this layout and organization because it does not overwhelm the reader with information all at once and on the same page.

This would be a very non-confusing way to update yourself on current issues without having to read through topics that may not interest you.
This is interesting.
