Net Neutrality
How do you feel about internet service providers deciding what websites load fast and what ones load slowly? I personally think it's in our best interest to disallow ISPs from charging website owners $$ for faster bandwidth. There are enough users out there who don't understand computers, let alone why one website loads more slowly than another. I think it would cause frustration among users.

Here's Google's take on it: Net Neutrality

Apparently it's more than just websites, it's applications, too. Hmm...

Not me. I am working while I play and that's enough on the computer for me.

Yet the TV shows online have gotten million of hits an hour. Apparently, the younger generation enjoys it.

I would prefer to download ALL my television shows and I feel it will be that way in the future. All media will be delivered via the internet eventually. It will only mean better selection and a wider selection of what is offered (worldwide).

As far as net neutrality is concerned; No one should be able to control how the bandwidth is used in any manner whatsoever!
--- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope ---

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.
