As much as proxy sites may seem like bad things, in terms of getting to blocked sites at school, they can be useful. For example, to write this blog from school, I had to use a proxy site. Without the skills of a very teck-savvy person somewhere in the world, this blog would be non-existent. I really wish I knew how to create that sort of website. My "website making" skills are zero. I know nothing about that topic, but it would be sweet if I did. The good thing about proxy sites is that they are always being created. Everyday there are tons of new ones that anyone can get ahold of. So even if teachers block the sites, the students simply keep finding new ones to go to and use.
In a sense, the teachers are fighting a very lost cause. On the other side though, if they weren't blocking any, there would be no cause at all. I don't know about you, but that would be a bit boring for me. If you could just go to any decent site without any "SonicWall" or some other firewall, I wouldn't feel really cool, sneaky, and rebelious when I go to blocked sites. Obviously there are sites that need to be blocked, but others are pretty innocent. I guess it really doesn't make that much of a difference to me either way, but I just thought I'd blog about this topic anyways.
