First off, what is net neutrality? Net neutrality is the principle that all internet service providers should treat data without legal bias. The term was developed by Columbia media law professor Tim Wu. Net neutrality is seen as an important component of an open internet. Policies which favor this outcome allow users of the internet to communicate and conduct business without barriers including interference from a third party. This is how our internet has been working for several years.
Well if this is how it is working, what is important about it? Recently, the concept of treating Internet content equally has been challenged. This erupted when the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued a proposal that would provide Internet “fast lanes” for larger companies that can afford to pay a higher fee. This means smaller companies cannot afford equal treatment in terms of speeds where the content reaches the consumer. Currently Congress and the FCC are still debating about it.
Why is this important for teens? Well if Net Neutrality is demolished that means certain content might restricted to some individuals. Teens will be limited to what they see and this can prevent them from seeing the whole picture. Information will even be limited for school and education purposes, limiting the students greatly in their studies. The internet should be a privilege and not a product for companies to sell off.

I think net neutrality is important for teens to know because we are the future. I think the internet is becoming more and more futuristic. I think we are gonna be the ones affected by what happens with Net Neutrality. I also think we should know about this because its about equality and thats a big part of life and a huge topic.
Net neutrality is really important because if net neutrality wasn’t a thing we would all be treated unfairly. The ISPs would be able to scheme us teens and have us pay more for services. By them doing this it would make online communicating much harder. This a problem because us teen do most of our communicating online. Communicating online has just become a way of life.
Teens should know about net neutrality because if we didn’t our future would be completely controlled by companies. Our world would be controlled by companies because technology and the internet is what we all depend on. Teens especially like me should know about net neutrality because thats online is where I turn in and do almost all my work. So that means net neutrality affects my education.

Net neutrality describes the state when everyone, who can access the internet, is open to the same material and content as other internet users. The term was first coined by Columbia University media law professor Tim Wu in 2003. This term is imperative for teens to be knowledgeable about because most teens are heavily-dependent on the internet. As the world advances, textbooks are being replaced with e-books and a myriad of innovative new ways of acquiring information is being developed. Moreover, the internet is a salient influence in the lives of most teens. They use it to complete homework and further explore subjects that they find interesting. Net neutrality allows them to have access to more information, so that they can form their own personal opinions and grow academically.
Moreover, if certain students and teens are limited to certain information, it could prevent them from becoming individualized character. For instance, if one never knows the different aspects and facets concerning a topic, they might find it harder to form opinions on that subject due to ignorance. Furthermore, this topic is also important to teens because it decreases the amount of information students can use for projects and assignments related to school. Some teens are not even aware of this term, when in fact it is something that affects them.The internet is a wonderful, complex tool and students need to be able to have access to all the possibilities is provides in order to be successful.
Net Neutrality is important for teens to know about because it gives us equal internet access for all users. Most users on the internet is in fact teenagers. All teenagers want all rights on the internet and net neutrality gives us these rights. Teenagers should be happy there is a net neutrality plan to give them access to things like social networking with peers and more. Net Neutrality helps us teens tremendously.
In the world today, teenagers use the internet all the time. I use the internet everyday myself for school work. So does everyone in my school and a lot of others. We all individually need access and rights on the internet to get work done and net neutrality contributes to giving us them fair rights and equality. It makes work easier. There is no discrimination involved in net neutrality. Everyone has the same rights at any time.
ISPs(internet service providers) are planning to give internet users unlimited content. This is just to make more profit for the organization. The more people using the internet, the more ISP make. So for them, it’s about satisfying the customers. If all teenagers can have unlimited content, they will always be on the internet. Even more than now. Again, which would make more money for the ISPs organization. The net neutrality contributes to this by making sure all the users have equal internet rights, so everyone will stay using the internet and internet service providers.
Net neutrality is basically the principle of an open internet, in which all data is treated equally, being sent and being received, concerning what you have access to and the speed it is accessed (actual internet connection issues based on location or other variables aside). The thing is, though, that having net neutrality in place means that ISPs (Internet Service Providers) cannot take in more revenue by charging users for access to certain sites or faster speeds whilst using them. Of course, this leaves them upset. Recently, the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) have started to ease away from net neutrality, with certain policies being put in place and such, but it's not a complete change. Although, this doesn't mean it isn't possible to do so, and every teen should be aware of what would happen if there was.
Say, net neutrality wasn't in place anymore due to some FCC regulation and you're really bored today. So, you hop on the computer, search up on Netflix and...waiting. ¨That's strange,¨ you'd think, ¨This never happened before...¨ Suddenly, a window pops up on the screen trying to convince you to pay for Comcast's new ¨fast lane¨ internet service. ¨Well, my internet is pretty slow...¨ So, you go ahead and pay for the ¨fast lane,¨ hoping it'd help you out. ¨Hey,¨ you'd think, ¨This internet connection is exactly the same as it was before the FCC's new regulations!¨
Huh, it makes it seem as if ISPs are using their control over your internet in order to make a quick buck... If net neutrality is left behind, then that means companies limiting your connection and access to certain sites based on either how much you pay them or how much that particular site's owner pays them. They believe that since it takes too much money to have giant piles of information piling in from huge streaming sites like Netflix, we should pay for it, even considering that people are paying for internet in the first place! And I know y'all teenagers love your Netflix, so this is serious business. This is a matter of the freedom of the internet and how you experience it, so it's important for all teens who regularly use the internet to truly understand the idea of net neutrality and what's up with it.

Net neutrality is the concept of having equal internet access for all users. As consumers of the internet, we all want it to be unfiltered, untampered exposure to the web, right? Well, the answer to that question for most is a yes. Especially as teens, the internet is probably the biggest things in our lives right now. With links to schoolwork, information, articles, social interaction, shopping and much more, the world wide web has taken over our lives the most. Because of our relationship with it, we must make sure that we’re very aware of what is going on. ISPs (internet service providers) are planning on making those unlimited waves of web into specific content that they want us to see. Why is this? Well, ISPs main goal is to make money, so the more internet you use, the more of your money they earn. With being able to control how much internet we actually intake, they’re wiping our wallets clean and cheating more people out of the access that they paid for. Of course we’re not that concerned with the initial issue now because it doesn’t affect us just yet...but that doesn’t mean it won’t. We teenagers must be aware of the issues that concern us and what we use daily. I feel that it is important for us to know so that we can be prepared for the situation head on and not be ignorant to this issue as is faces us.

https://www.eff.org/issues/net-neutralityNet Neutrality is important for teens to know about because they need to be aware of what’s going on in the community. It teaches them why its important. Without it people wouldn't be able to go on certain sites. Certain websites you would have to pay cash for. That's ridiculous that people would have to do that. Teenagers should be aware of these type of things.
The internet was created to open new passageways, for a different perspective. Having this led everyone to different way of communication that is fast. Wherever we go we cannot avoid anything that has to do with technology, and for teenagers it’s kind of impossible for them to just imagine it doesn’t exist. If we didn’t have net neutrality in our world today we wouldn’t have experienced many things and everything would be slower around us. If it was to ever be gone we wouldn’t be able to express ourselves and for ISP’s (internet service providers) things would be slower for them.
If you’re someone who doesn’t have the most updated or most expensive internet that is made available for us, then your internet is probably slow. By having a ISP that can provide you with the so called ¨faster internet¨ is not exactly true because, even if you buy a more popular, and expensive provider you won’t necessarily get a better offer you will just be getting the same thing you had before. Doing this is not benefiting you at all, you’re just helping the companies find another way to get more money out of people.
By doing this they charge you a whole lot more based on what you do on the internet. They monitor you by looking to see what you go on and by basing it off of that they charge more money onto your bill. The internet is place for you to have free will and not be charged on what you do, especially teenagers. This is a place where we go to express ourselves, to seek entertainment, and much more. We shouldn’t let the internet service providers take our freedom away.

http://www.savetheinternet.com/net-neutralityNet Neutrality is the term, used to end, when the people controlling the internet control what you can see and not see. They block certain websites that they feel is inappropriate and/or displeasing. The people who control the internet also control the cost for it. They will “raise” the speed if you start to pay more for it. If you do not start paying more money for your internet then they think it is okay to slow down the rate you are receiving it.
Net Neutrality is very important for teens because we use the internet everyday of our lives. Therefore if companies start to charge more for “faster” speed, that will cause a problem because that will limit the amount of time us teens can actually use the internet. Additionally, teens like to see what they want to see. So if you take this opportunity from them, by blocking sites, it will only create chaos.
Barrack’s opinion on the issue is as stated “there should be no gatekeepers between you and your favorite online sites and services”. Obama stands for Net Neutrality, and he says that only the FCC should be making the decisions not the cable companies.

I changed my whole slide. At first my slide was very un organized and had too much on it. After the good information I was given just because you have more doesn't mean it is better. I kept mine simple by adding a picture of me in grey, with my name written in lime green with a very big lettering going across the screen to attract viewers. I added that certain picture in the back because most people wouldn't do something like that so it also pushes the viewers attention to my slide.
It is very important for teens to know about net neutrality because it is a huge deal. Making the wrong decision with net neutrality could possibly cause protest. Teens are the future of the world and they need to know about very controversial topics. If we don’t then it is more like we will start controversies. If we do know about it than it is less likely we will have controversies.
Net neutrality is the freedom to view all websites without paying an additional fee to few certain websites. It also makes the speed of the internet faster. Now if you're in the one percent than you probably won’t mind having to pay. But if you're the average joe then you should have a problem with this. If ISPs get rid of net neutrality and teens don’t know about it then they won’t be able to restore it when we become the leaders.
Now lets say every teen new about net neutrality. I guess about 63% of them would protest to keep net neutrality. Now say if the ISPs still get rid of net neutrality. When we become the adults we can just restore it. Why? Because we will know that it is a good thing to have because we had to go through it.
Net neutrality is not a lovely thing. It prevents people from doing reasonable things on the net. Most people think net neutrality is a way of ensuring that the net is not censored. Net neutrality is a way of allowing net providers to filter content that they think is illegal, or slow down things that they think is taking up much space.
Net Neutrality is something that teenagers shouldn't have to adapt towards for future references. It affects what they want to see on the internet and that's a very bad thing. The issue with Net Neutrality is that when we would use our different resources on the internet with limited access to multiple things, a bill would stil passed on to you and I, ever though the amount of information we received was not sufficient enough. This is very important with teenagers and their schoolwork. If they're not able to get certain information due to their ISP's personal decisions, the work that they are trying to complete would end up become a complete bust.
There are several things at play here. Specifically, lots of people appear to be under the impression that Net Neutrality is somehow controlling of the telephone services that all teenagers and adults have access to. Every phone call makes use of the same amount of "bandwidth". If a user wanted the ability to place more calls, they had to pay more money for phone lines. The rules being discussed by the FCC fundamentally amount to the same thing. One example of an essential that teenagers use all the time is Netflix. Netflix consumes HUGE amounts of bandwidth for its streaming services, which takes up a lot of bandwidth, IF they are willing to pay for it. Net neutrality isn't something that us teens should be forced to follow with certain service providers. It is ultimately our decision of what we want to see on the internet

This is what your internet will be without net neutrality:
Net neutrality is when all data on the internet is treated equally. This means that all Internet Service Providers (ISP) and the government treat everything on the internet the same by not discriminating or charging differently by user, content, site, etc. This is important for everyone to have the same access to knowledge. Some people see net neutrality as an important part of an open internet. A “closed internet” is the opposite situation, when there is restricted access to different resources in the Internet.
I argue in favor of net neutrality. If we did not have net neutrality then we will have to pay more to have faster internet. This means that those who have fewer financial resources will not be able to access the internet if net neutrality does not exist. An open internet increases creativity and allows people to share their ideas with the world. In other words, “diffusion of innovation” will decrease with no net neutrality. Discrimination on the internet might increase inequality in the physical world.
I feel confused and disappointed that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) cannot stop digital discrimination and ensure network neutrality. Therefore, those who have more money will receive more benefits and have access to resources that the overall public cannot. Equal data does not hurt anyone because everyone will have the same access for the internet. When equal internet service providers do not want net neutrality it will hurt others by having to pay more. We say this because if the all internet service providers that suddenly started to be equal they will lose money.
