Narrowing the Gap
In BBC News (2005)” controversy blights UN net summit” by Twist, the author discusses the summit that has been hold in Tunis to narrowing the gap between rich and poor countries. In addition, he points out on the problems that the summit had about who should manage the net not to mention the freedom speech. Also, he shows that the funding allocated for this process in not enough. The author states that technology will push all nations toward the international aims in terms of technological development. Moreover, the author tells us about the tensions that happened during the summit. He also claims that internet requires to enormous efforts to combat crimes through internet, according to the Chinese Vice Premier. I agreed with the author that all countries should narrow the gap between them in order to prevent the crimes, provide the freedom and develop and help poor nations.
First of all, many terrorist groups are based in poor countries. That shows the importance of technological development in different ways to combat such groups. There are a lot of criminal groups who use the internet to transmit thier plans. According to Chinese Vice Premier, “ for the internet, we need effective measures to fight against criminal acts using this technology’ (2005, para.14). Thus, the development of poor countries and keep them at pace with the evolution of the world in this area may limit the ability of many criminal groups. Tech has become the first police officer in the fight against all kinds of crimes. For that all countries should help each other to stop terrorism by narrowing the technology gap.
Next, internet has become the real source of free speech that all can use without fear of censorship scissors. Thus, seriousness of the gap between countries appears here. People of developed countries can express their views through all forms, but their counterparts in poor countries have limited space for free speech. The freedom of speech is the right of everyone therefore the tension will rise in poor countries because of the lack of free speech. “But the summit was most notable for palpable tension during the events organized by civil society groups who called for action to balance the rights of all digital citizens in a global information society to freedom of expression” (2005, para 12). Therefore, the call for freedom of expression has become the demand of all people.
Finally, the world has become a small village. Therefore, the lack of keeping up with the world’s evolution in many poor countries may keep them always in the back row. Thus, assisting poor nations and exchanging information with them by developing their technological advice might help to promote them in all fields.”Technologies and knowledge would also drive all countries towards internationally-agreed development goals and objectives” (2005, para. 8).
In conclusion, freedom of expression, the fight against crime and technological development in poor countries are the soldiers of the same coin. Developed countries should help other countries to put them in right path of the modern technology. It is everyone’s right to have the same freedom and the same technology.

Internet limiting
Probably we heard in the news from time to time about the liquidation of a person by internet criminals or loss of a person’s money through financial theft of credit card number online. Also, someone got in trouble because of pornographic sites that were used when a credit card was interred through the Internet. More serious is what the news showed us about the suicide of two teenagers knows each other through the Internet and agreed to kill themselves by shooting fire at each other because they were depressed. That shows us the importance of limiting the misuse and controlling some of the internet sites.
First of all, there are hundreds of websites that have forged trademarks and the only work they do learning to get your personal information: your name, address and your bank account. “West African criminals have used a fake version of a British bank's online service to milk victims of cash, say police”.(fake banks website cons victims, 2002, para.1). All internet users know about people who called themselves black hats “Hackers” those people who are really smart but use that talent to destroy and harm companies or people or steal money from people who like to shop through internet. Companies are losing their files and people are losing their money because of the unlimited use of the internet that is provided without monitoring it which some believe that is against human rights.
Next, limiting internet use could save people life and money. Internet dating is one of the most dangerous websites; we can not deny that many people got married through these websites but, also we can not denying that many people have been debauched by criminals.” Stephen Day, from Ipswich, handed over sums of money totalling £12,000 to someone he met online. The woman he thought he was emailing and sending money to for flights and other expenses turned out to be a Nigerian man” (2007, para.14). The problem is that some people who use the internet are not real. Through internet you can see different pictures with different names for one person. They move from one websites to another with different information trying to dupe people on the other side and this can be very dangerous.
Finally, parents like to improve their child’s knowledge. Thus, they offer for their children computers and laptops. But, if they don't watch what their children are doing and what kind of mail they got in their mail inbox, they might be at big risk. “A lack of internet skills among many parents could harm their children's prospects, the report said” (2005, para. 5). There is a TV show that shows the real predators who just surf the internet only to make trap for kids and most of the kid who got hurt by those predators were under 16 years old, and they were not being monitored by their parents. ”Parents who restrict web use too much may make their children less aware of online risks, such as those from chart rooms, the report said” (2005, para. 10). Thus, parents should be aware and monitor their children internet use to protect them from the dangers that the internet might cause.
In conclusion, fake websites, fake people and criminals are always there surfing the Internet night and day just to harm people. Despite all the arguments about limiting the Internet we, should governments and parents should limiting the use of the Internet. Governments should attack those criminals and stop them and they also should prevent the fake websites by monitoring and limiting the use of the Internet. On the other hand, parents should take care of their children by sharing the email with them and giving them a specific time to use the internet; also the can talk to the internet service provider to block some of the internet websites.

Summary Argument
Limiting internet access
What will happen if someone has his own gun and can use it any time without any control? The discovery of the Internet transferred the world in very advanced steps towards modern technology. The Internet was designed to transfer information from one area to another in the United States by the military in 1969. The first use of the Internet was not wide until the early nineties of the twentieth century. It was possible to use the Internet and it existed in nearly a decade. People now have started using the internet for many and different reasons. Many problems have arisen because of the bad use of the Internet these days, making control of the Internet and limiting its use is very important. Losing time, money and misuse of internet are very common at the present time.
First of all, we often hear about drug and alcohol addiction but in the twenty-first century, we have heard about addiction to the Internet and electronic games. Some people spend hours, even days using Internet and we read or heard about death of persons due to use of Internet. Limiting use of internet may help to solve such problems, which affect not only businesses also families, individuals and the society.
Next, Internet use by the staff during work was one of the most important factors to loss of some companies. The preoccupation of the employees by using the Internet to download songs or movies or enter chat rooms it may cause a disaster to the company. According to Stafford Companies are really face this problems every day many employees going to MySpace or other websites because they don’t feel that using internet at home is save because of wives or kids(2007, para.3). Many companies use the internet to help in completing the work quickly and accurately, not for personal use. Thus, the limiting of Internet access at work is becoming very important to save the company form losing its money.
Finally, misuse of internet has become very common. People started to use internet to commit their crimes. Terrorists depend on internet to deliver their plans and ideas. ”Access to a known pornographic site may be blocked completely” ( 2007, para. 6). Every user of the Internet is at risk either through fraud or through identity theft of information not to mention the risk to young Internet users. Thus, controlling the Internet will help to protect people from misuse of internet.
Opponents claim that limiting internet access is against human rights. However, this argument dose not covers the whole problem. In fact people want to save their money, time and also the want to be sure that their children wont be at risk when the serve the internet. It is not normal to give any one a gun with a explaining the danger of that gun and what are the results if he misuse it and It must be the same thing with internet. Internet is like any harmful weapon. If we do not control it or if we do not come up with a law to prevent the danger that internet may cause that would be like every one of us carrying his gun in his hand and have the right to fire any where at any time. Therefore, limiting internet access is the only way to protect our people an communities the danger of high technology crimes.
In conclusion, limiting internet access because of losing time, money or the misuse of it is not against the human rights. Freedom ends when we misuse it. Governments should play its roles to control the misuse of the internet and companies should limit the internet access in order to help save people’s righs.
