In the first place, the Internet was originally designed for use in the U.S military. The whole system at the time had less computing power than an iPod. Today though, the Internet is just about anything but a military tool.
Today the Internet is used for: entertainment, work, communication, and information finding. It is hard to imagine the modern world without the Internet.
The Internet allows its users to access vast quantities of information at the push of a button for research, education and fun. It allows for quick communication world wide with family and friends. Also, entertainment, movies, music and games can be viewed and/or downloaded.
But, the Internet does have its dark side. In a way, the Internet has become the new 'toilet door.' Many websites feature pornography and violence or easy access to sites that promote gambling. Others carry messages of hatred toward minority religious and ethnic groups. Some sites teach how to make bombs, poisons or get involved with terror groups.
Social networks seem like harmless socialisation. But, there are weirdos out there who disguise themselves to fool unsuspecting users. Internet predators hope to lure a child into an online or even a face-to-face sexual encounter. According to a 2008 survey, 52 percent of teens have given out personal information online to someone they don't know offline including personal photos and/ or physical descriptions of themselves (Harris Interactive-McAfee 10/2008)
The Bible provides good advice by warning us not to associate with those who aren't what they seem: Psalms 26:4 "I have not sat with men of untruth. And with those who hide what they are I do not come in."
With regards to cyber bullying, things like hateful and threatening emails and text messages can cause people to become depressed which can lead to suicide. Says the website InternetSafety101.org,
The Internet, if you know how to use it and what to look out for, it is a really useful tool, as I said earlier. On the other hand, the Internet will probably never be danger free so, be on guard for the dangers and keep an eye out for weirdos.

With regards to cyber bullying, things like hateful and threatening emails and text messages can cause people to become depressed which can lead to suicide. Says the website InternetSafety101.org,
"43% of teens aged 13 to 17 report that they have experienced some sort of cyberbullying in the past year."
Another thing with regards to emails, is spam. It's just junk mail but can contain obscene content, and links to other undesirable web sites.

I think this is a good start, but it needs developing. I want to see an into, body paragraphs and a conclusion. If you start it with "the Internet was originally designed for use in the U.S military" you have a very catchy beginning. Develop your cyber bullying and people disguising who they really are on the internet into their own paragraphs and try include examples to back up what you are saying and convince your reader.
