My proposal.

Yes, I finally proposed. The wedding is going to be in October 2009. (Your invitations in the mail.) Seriously though, in my paper I propose to write about the invention of the internet and it's contribution to the perversion of society. Now I understand that for a few of you this may be a little too much to wrap your little heads around but yes, the internet HAS contributed to the perversion of our society. Some of you might still live in a reality where every woman is still given the benefit of the doubt and cast off as a "morally sound" person, but the fact remains that the embedding of pornography into our day to day lives has psychologically affected us all, to at least some extent, be it a passing thought when dabbling into a person who you just met's love life during a conversation or as extreme to actually partaking in the audience of the millions and millions (if not more) of people around the world who seek out a more for lack of a better word "passionate" (or should I say "kinky") form of entertainment, or dare I say you might even be one of my favorite actresses... Just kidding. But anyways, in my paper I, being the fearless groundbreaking journalist that I am, plan on asking all the questions that keep you up at night but you were always too scared to ask. Some of those questions being: How exactly did this reality come to exist today, How could things have been different, Who is affected most drastically, What lies ahead, Just who exactly is to blame for this, What can we do about this pandemic, How different ARE we than the previous generations given that pornography is more influential now than ever before, and last but not least, the question that's on all your minds, Just how CAN I cash in on the adult entertainment industry? All those questions and more will be answered in my paper, cleverly titled, "The Invention of the Internet and it's Contribution to the Perversion of Society." (Coming soon to a computer near you.)

Hypertext Essay Sources

One of the sources of my hypertext essay was "whatis.com". The reason why I used this website was to gather information on cyberspace. As far as authoritativeness goes, they do specify who it is that wrote the specific piece of information that is posted on the website. For the record also, let me state that this is a website that professionals like IT guys use so it would have to be very reputable by the 'IT' community to be used by them. As far as currency goes, the exact piece of information that I used was written very recently. January 25th, 2008 to be exact. The objectivity seems to be up to standard, to some extent at least since we know all sources of information ever written in the world are somewhat biased. And finally, accuracy. The information is accurate, so much so that the website can be used almost as a dictionary of sorts.

Another source I used was "CNN.com". The authoritativeness is very clear as it does always show who has stated what in it's articles and news stories. The currency is very up to par, in the sense that the website is updated hourly. Accuracy is good, as it is under alot of pressure since it is very much under a microscope, in terms of it's prescence in the rest of the world. And finally objectivity. It's objectivity is somewhat biased but again, since it is under a microscope so to speak, it can only be so biased before it would start to segregate visitors to the site.

The third source I used was "changingminds.org". It's authority is less prominent but nevertheless it does have a section of the website devoted to contacting whoever it is that seems to be in charge. Currency is unknown. Accuracy seems to be okay, so far. And thirdly objectivity is unknown, as since we don't know who wrote the information, we don't know their motives or agenda for saying what they are saying as well.
