.. Topic Proposal: Work a Sweat with the Intemet - t i:U!Introduction/Overview

I-- Will increased use of the Internet help people in America gain the knowledge needed toI{*o'e I lead a more healthful lifestyle? I will be examining whether or not use of the Internet in todays

society helps people all across the United States in their quests to become healthier humanbeings. I want to research this topic because health is a large part of my life and I use the Internetto help my knowledge of base of this topic, so I would like to know if more people are using it toincrease their health. While some people may say that the internet is contributing to America'sobesity problem, I believe it is also helping people lead healthier lifestyles by providing themwith more information and ultimately making them more knowledgeable about exercising andhealthful living.

The main preliminary research I did for this was talk to my peers about it and use theinterest inventory assignment. My peers helped me refine my topic from the broadness ofoexercise' to my current topic. Also the interest inventory made me use critical thinking to comeup with this idea. All in all this led me to focus in on the topic I have at the moment.

This topic is highly debatable. Some may say the Internet is a leading cause of the healthissues many Americans face. However you can also make the argument that the Intemet ishelping educate and motivate people to handle their health issues, which is what I hope toresearch.
