Hi, I thought your essay was quite good. I think most people say “the internet” instead of just “internet”. You have some good ideas. You have focused more though on what the specific uses of the internet are as opposed to how these uses have changed the overall society - smarter people? fewer libraries? different ways of making friends and having relationships? Maybe some “big picture” ideas would be good. Your writing was pretty clear, although you did have some odd sounding or somewhat unclear phrases here and there. Overall, I would rate this a 3.5 out of 5.
