I've been inspired to write this blog post after much thought about the
nastiness on the internet. This is nothing to do with the Stop Online Piracy
Act, which seems to be the news topic of the moment. Rather, its about human
behaviour towards other humans via the internet.
There seems to have been a huge rise in 'internet trolling' and 'flaming' of late. I personally have witnessed it on many a Facebook page, YouTube video and Twitter tweet; all of which make it very easy to post any sort of comment as quickly as you can type it out. I don't want to slag off social networking sites, I for one enjoy using Facebook, YouTube, Twitter et al. They make communicating and sharing information really easy and fun, who doesn't love looking at photos that friends have tagged you in or receiving a dozen happy birthday tweets?!
