So what is this all about?
Use of the Internet has become an everyday occurrence for most of us. Just like turning on the TV. We take it for granted. We assume we can go visit any website we want, just like we change channels on the TV to watch the news or a movie or a sitcom whether it is on ABC, CBS, or FOX.
We want to get on the Internet and move around on it at the fastest speed we can. We want to watch videos, listen to a podcast, send an instant message or e-mail to someone any time we want. We share pictures with our families. Research our family trees. Buy books on Amazon. Write blogs. Visit Facebook.
But don’t just assume it is always going to be that way. Ever hear of Net Neutrality? Net Neutrality is the guiding principle that preserves the free and open Internet. That means internet service providers cannot discriminate between different kinds of content.
Want to learn some more about Net Neutrality and what big corporations are up to? Take a look at Save the Internet. As Senator Al Franken told the Netroots Nation last weekend in Las Vegas: “Only you can stop a corporate takeover of free speech.”
