　　My computer is still not online,and I've thought about getting connected to the Internet.But I've heard there's a lot of pornography and nasty things spreading on the Internet,as well as some reactionary political stuff,which scares me a lot.Recently some people suggested that the use of Internet should be imposed on some restrictions.I couldn't agree more.Surely,how can we allow the free flow of information?But if I understand a little more about the situation,then I should say:“other than just cutting it all off clean,there's really no way to put limits on it.”That stuff is just so fast,so amazing.With the information explosion,it's too difficult to censor it all—banning it would be easier.If I were in business,or doing scientific and technological work,it would be difficult for me without internet.But why should I worry for businessmen and engineers?There is indeed a vast ocean of information flowing on the information superhighway.But for someone like me who writes for a living,I can get along without it.So I say:cut of the Internet completely so that I don't have to be bothered with it.
