For what kinds of things do you use the internet? o When you use the internet, how do you decide what information is real or legitimate? 2. Have you ever felt strong emotion after reading something on the internet? o How did you respond? o After reading our course page Emotions & the Web, how would you respond differently in the future? 3.

1. I use the internet mostly for the news and information on hunting and fishing. I decided years ago not to watch the new on TV anymore. It seemed to always be so negative and bad news. Since reading the news I can make my own judgment from multiple different news agencies online instead of one biased TV news station. Being able to read the news also sets the tone of the news being reported. I don’t have a reporter telling me is an excited or sad voice what the news is, I can make my own assumption if it is exciting or bad.
