Stephanie, Very well drawn out, i agree that stalking in and out of the virtual world is a serious problem. There are alot of people out there who are willing and capable of some pretty terrible things. It is a scary thing to have someone watch everything you do. Peace, Stephanie Terry <stephanie9431@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: The societal issue I chose to research was "stalking". Stalking is just like it is in real life, but on the internet. A person who is network saavy can follow you around in the virtual world and see everywhere you go and all that you type. They can send you messages and harrass you in chatrooms and through e-mail. I believe that some people have way too much time on their hands. This is how young girls and boys get themselves into trouble by not knowing what to do in a situation like this or giving out too much information. I found some more information on this at the following website: http://www.call-logging-uk.co.uk/calls/internet_stalking.html Thanks! Stephanie L.
