Assignment on The Internet Revolution

Since the early 1980's the Internet has become a part of our daily lives.  Those born after 1980 probably cannot imagine a life without the internet.

1)  Describe the differences and changes you would have to make without the internet at work, home, and in the classroom.  Imagine two scenarios:  the first scenario is when the internet goes down in that area (does not work), and imagine if the internet were never invented.

2)  Look around your living space.  Point out every device that is powered and assisted by the internet and how it affects your daily life.  Write a brief paragraph describing how dependent you are on these devices (hints:  Your cell-phone, your television, your computer).  If you do not have any of these devices, please use a store in your area that you frequent as an example.

Rubric:

20 points for content.  How much research did you do and how well you presented the topic.  Was the material you presented relevant and interesting?  Again, use your imagination and be creative!

10 points for 400 words.  10 point deduction for less than 400 words and 10 points for every 10 words less than 300 words.  As an example, 299 words is a ten point reduction.  289 words is a 20 point reduction, decreasing by 10 points to zero.

5 points for spelling and grammar checking.

Have fun!
