jocelynn - SOPA

Sopa or the stop online piracy act is very much so like the novel 1984. Sopa is trying to go on everybody’s internet and control and watch everything you do! They won’t let you watch certain things or even say certain things with out them sticking their nose in. This is very similar to 1984 because big brother watches everybody in the town. He even watches them when they aren’t on the computer. He watches them at work, at home, even when you sleep. The screen can never be turned off. However, I feel as though SOPA will get to the point eventually because the computer is the first step. Everybody spends a lot of time on computers now a days. At least in this life we can turn off the computer screen. The poor people in 1984 could not escape big brother. Every where they turned “big brother was watching you.” I feel like if you say the wrong thing SOPA will try to get you in trouble and stick their nose where it doesn’t belong. Mr. Smith says SOPA is trying to take over our life! I agree with this one hundred percent. If we know they are watching us, we will have to censor our selves and the things we do on the computer. We shouldn’t have to! In 1948 the people were basically brainwashed, I hope that doesn’t happen to us any time in the future. If SOPA does take over I will go crazy.. even though I’m already half way there.
