"Lost in Cyberspace"

I never seem to find anything on the Internet that's worth putting into a research paper, besides Wikipedia, and that source is kind of sketchy. I think that the Internet is a wonderful thing and there is so much information that you can look into, but you have to really know where to find it. Most of the things I try to research only lead me to short paragraphs that do not go into detail. The Internet seems to be a shallow breadth of information rather than certain subjects that delve deeply into the information.
The majority of my time spent on the Internet is only for e-mail and Facebook. But when I try to find pertinent information on the Internet, I only find "pretty pebbles" and "small sticks." I never find information that really dives into the subject.
I think that the Internet is good but dangerous. Not serisouly dangerous, like I'm not terrified of on-line stalkers. I just think it's dangerous because it easily could control my life. I got Facebook when I graduated from high school so that I could keep in touch with all of my friends as we went off to college. I was against it prior to having it because I just didn't want to be one of those people who had to have a MySpace or Facebook in order to survive through the day. But the thing with Facebook is that it is addicting. I seriouslty spent all of my free time talking to people and searching their pages. I found it greatly entertaining. And then I got to college and I got AIM. I had never had AIM before so this was totally new and I found myself spending a lot of time on my computer. The reason I think that the Internet is dangerous is because people can really get "lost in cyberspace." I think it is too easy for someone who is lonely to lock themselves away into a virutal world. I try, though, not to become one of those people. I try to keep a healthy balance of staying off and on the Internet.
