ONE GOOD THING: Rachel, NJ
The Internet can be used in many positive ways, like advertising for charities or community service organizations. Every once in awhile I volunteer at an organization that houses people with HIV/AIDS called The Center in Asbury Park. Without their usage of social media and the Internet, I never would have known that they existed, let alone knowing about the opportunity to volunteer my time for them. The Internet doesn’t always have to be a negative...

ONE GOOD THING: Colin – NJ
Recently my grandpa passed away, so my grandma was upset and was sad that she couldn’t talk to people as much as she used to. Because of this, my family and I got her an iPhone so she could call and text us more easily, because she lives in Florida. She came up to New Jersey for a little bit, so we took her out to lunch one day. I spent the whole time showing her how to text...

One good thing I have recently seen on twitter is something quite heartwarming. It is a video of students at a high school pulling money together to buy a classmate christmas presents and give him a christmas he deserves. The video shows the student who cannot afford much walking in with a very surprised look that turns to pure joy. Watching this video made me very happy to see other students making a positive impact in someone else’s life...

As a competitor in the Miss America Organization, I am required to have a personal community service platform which I have entitled “Fit, Fun & Fabulous: Instilling Healthy Habits in America’s Youth”. In order to publicly promote this cause, I have resorted to social media such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Remind 101. On these sites, I post frequent reminders directed towards my followers regarding the importance of living a healthy lifestyle, which is the main message my...

One good thing I have done using the internet is communicate with my family members and friends in different parts of the country or the world. It is very easy and fun to share pictures and experiences with people via the internet who may not get to experience them with you personally.

ONE GOOD THING: Ceci
I create, along with my interactive media class, a safe driving campaign by creating videos and posters to spread awareness.

I am proud to say that I have participated in the ALS ice bucket challenge that swept the nation this past summer. Although it appears that people of all ages would rather dump a large bucket of ice water atop their heads than donate to a worthy cause, the ice bucket challenge has been a huge success! Not only has it brought an insane amount of awareness to the ALS community, but thanks to the challenge, the ALS Association...

Through social media outlets like Facebook, Email, and Instagram, I share my Relay for Life group’s fundraising page. Each year we raise money for the American Cancer Society. Last year we raised almost $5,000. We would not be able to help so many cancer patients, survivors, and care takers if we not use social media. This example goes to show that the “dark abyss” that some think the internet is, in reality is an extremely useful tool in helping...

One good thing that I have seen on the Internet, is the very popular and trending ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. This requires someone to pour an ice bucket of water on their head and challenge friends to do it too. They have 24 hours to complete the challenge, or donate to the ALS foundation. This viral internet sensation has spread all over the world, and has raised millions of dollars for ALS. Without the internet, this “fundraiser” would not...
ONE GOOD THING: Sarah – N.J.
Over the past year, my grandfather has become progressively more sick with deteriorating heart conditions. Because he is too weak to travel, him and my grandmother have been remaining in their home in Florida, and have been unable to fly up to New Jersey and visit us as much as they used to. Since we cannot be there all the time, my family set up a Skype system so that my grandparents can still see us and communicate with...

Back in 2001, I wanted to create a virtual version of a Victorian home here in Riverside California like a video game but of a real, renovated, historically accurate Victorian home from 1902. Given the bandwidth limitations and limited low cost game design software at the time, I switched to creating a virtual tour of the home and the grounds using Equi-rectangular (spherical) panoramas. Took me about 6 months using a film SLR and a special tripod head for the camera.After I...

Super-storm Sandy was about to strike and a very close friend of mine was in the path of destruction. Although my own apartment is tiny, it was big enough to take in my friend’s small family as we lived a safer distance from the shore.
