Learning Target: I can describe the history of the Internet and its impacts on society.

Bellwork 2 Section in Journal

Based on our videos yesterday, what is HTML and how is it used?

Agenda: Writing Task: The Internet has had a tremendous impact on organizations. For

some organizations, that influence has not been positive. For example, surveys suggest that as a growing number of people make their own travel plans online, travel agents are seeing fewer customers. Use the Web to research organizations that have been affected negatively by the Internet. What effect has the Internet had? How can the organization compete with the Internet? Do you feel that computers might replace humans entirely in the workforce? Why or why not? Write a report (5 paragraph format) and submit it online. (We may try printing).
