Is Getting Rid of Net Neutrality Really In Our Best Interest?

The internet serve us in so many ways. Getting rid of net neutrality will slow down anything that requires the internet-- everything! Despite the many disadvantages it may have, it could potentially lead to better opportunities for us to disconnect and not be so dependent of technology. The idea is that companies will now start charging for using their programs(i.e. apps, websites). In a way, I think that this could really improve the way we socialize, given that our generation doesn't really do too much of that. That is assuming that people won't want to pay extra for all these resources. On the downside, however, I feel like those who depend solely on the internet for specific things might have no other choice but to pay the prices. For example, some people don't have the privilege to live together and might depend on FaceTime, Skype, and other internet programs to communicate, but that's not even the worst part. Education has also become extremely dependent on the internet. For example, I can't remember a day where I don't utilize the internet for an activity or assignment. Not to mention THIS BLOG!!! To be completely honest, I don't think that I would want to pay any money just to post this blog. Lastly, Ive come to know that college is basically completely dependent on the internet. So good luck to us right!
