SOPA

It's quite the hot topic everyone's talking about, at least on the Internet. It pretty much stops all forms of sharing information that is worth sharing. It is like the apocalypse for the Internet. Besides for the great effect it will have on entertainment and catching up on the latest news and using Facebook and pretty much everything that we use the Internet for, there will be one other major hit.

If SOPA goes through, students from all the over the world will be completely lost and probably fail everything. Personally I have yet to touch a physical book as a source of reference or information. Everything can be so quickly and conveniently found on the Internet; E-books, articles, journals, videos, pictures. My whole education experience so far has been possible because of the Internet, because people are free to share information and tutorials.

Besides, in a way students can improve themselves outside of class when lecturers are not available. The Internet makes it possible to continue learning from people all around the world. They can be the layman or a Fortune 500 company's art director. That kind of information is invaluable and can really spike up learning curves if a student devotes enough effort and time to self-learning.

Therefore I say...

...because I don't want to fail.
