So I did not think that the internet the common people
use is that small compared to the dark web when he show us the chart. He showed
us a chart of an ice cube floating on water, and he said that the ice cube was
the everyday user using the internet and below the ice cube basically the whole
ocean is the dark web. And it goes very deep. And this Dark Web is used basically
by criminals. It makes sense when you think of the word Dark Web. On the Dark
Web people sell and have services for all kinds of illegal merchandize
including buying and selling humans. Buying and selling Guns, Drugs, and even assassination
contracts.
And the following presentation was connected to this because
it talked about Bit Coins. A form of Currency that’s only available on the
internet. And with it only being available on the internet it is also used as transition
money for these Dark Web illegal trades.
Also connected to this was The Silk road which is one
of the Websites on the Dark web. And the name comes from a trading route in
China that treads with the western continents, and like the Silk Road of China
they sold Drugs. Well the Chinese used the Silk Road for travel and other merchandise
too but it also smuggled in illegal goods.
So the internet does have a dark place, a really dark
place.
