I want to argue that the internet anonymity is needed in Korea. People said that internet anonymity is harmful to korean society so we can not accept internet society. I want to say that internet anonymity not only has side effects but also beneficial points.


2) How I found my argument Explain how your research helped you find your argument. Or, in other words, how did your research evolve into your argument? Start with your research question.

My first research question was, when will my cellphone be smarter than my brain? It seems reasonable that eventually, as technology continues developing, our hand held devices will be smarter than our head held ones (Our brain). This article helped corroborate that theory. As I continued researching, it seemed obvious that everyone agreed that we were moving to a world where eventually humans would not be as smart as computers. I thought if I wrote an article saying the same thing, it would be boring. I started looking at the opposite perspective. How smart are people now? How amazing are our brains right now? Articles like this one helped me quantify the real power of our brain. Eventually I realized that even though neuroscientists think our brain is at its limits, it is still the most powerful tool out there. I think this is a fresh and interesting argument to make.

I wanted to find a topic related with 'The internet and Hieronymous Bosch : fear, protection, and liberty in cyberspace'. I thought about liberty in cyberspace should be

3) New research questions What do you still need to know? What is your research plan?
I have several questions that need to be resolved.
a) How can I compare the brain to a modern computer?
b) What areas are the brain objectively and obviously better at than computers?
c) What are the moral implications of possessing the most powerful "thought" apparatus in the world?
I'll continue browsing the internet and looking for interesting articles and keeping track of my research with blog posts.



4) Connections to the Harvard Sampler
This argument has connection to the Harvard Sampler. It is directly connected to 'The Internet and Hieronymus Bosch: Fear, Protection, and Liverty in Cyberspace'.
