Internet Civilization

Good afternoon, ladies and gentleman! First I want to say is that I’m very proud of to be invited to to present my topic here, which is “ Internet Civilization”.

Before I begin my topic, please allow me to ask you a question: Every time you click the mouse to surf the web, do you know what does it mean?

On the net, you can make friends overseas and call them with IP phones; you can get information from all over the world; you can even give a hand to some people in troubles and get help when in need.

However, we have to admit that internet also leads to intimacy¹ before acquaintance; it scatters² secrets outwards³, not inwards; and, most worrying of all, it is a vehicle for liars⁴.

Here we should see, there exists good and evil, right and wrong on the web. As netizens, we’d better grow to realize the importance of Internet Civilization.

Just as the famous saying goes “Long and steep is the path to virtue⁵.” Many people advocate that we should be sincere, honest and responsible in our society—the real world. Now, what I want to add is that we also should obey the primary moral principles in this virtual world.

All of my dear friends here, on the internet, which role did you play? Which role are you playing? And which role will you play?

Thank you very much!
