4.) Discuss how you would feel if the Australian government banned the Internet. What privileges would you lose? (2 Paragraphs)

If the Australian government banned the internet i would be very outraged because our daily lives revolve around the internet for research, buying and selling, communicate with friends and family around the world, book holidays and much more. This would make me very angry because we would have the technology but wouldnt use it and it is not practicle.

This would also make our lives very difficult at school doing Pbl because it relies on the internet for research and it would make it very hard for us to work.
