I have some ideas of what is wrong with the internet. LIke the fact that you can look at bad websites with only a few buttons. Tell me what you think is wrong with it, and tell me if you are male or female.

Hey,
Yea you are soft of correct, but I think that it is up to you to not look at the bad sites that are at your fingertips. I think that even though the temptation is there, we have to be strong enough to withstand from visiting the bad sites. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

Internet abuse and cybercrime have historically risen since the inception of the Internet.
Spam
Despite some claims that abuse such as spam is flattening, costs are still estimated by some sources to be significant. Specifically, the 2009 cost of spam is estimated around $130 billion worldwide and $42 billion in the US.Nevertheless, other sources claim the abuse is still beneficial - and profitable - and, thus, continues to proliferate.
Phishing
Phishing is estimated to cost the US economy $5.8 billion in 2008, up from $3 billion in 2007. Over the past three years, more than 2,000 brands across 30 countries have been spoofed in emails, incurring additional damage beyond direct financial losses

Yes there are such sites designed by some noobs who don't know the basics of web designing and just play around wasting their money and our time!!
A good website is one which can clearly depict what it contains. Then comes the design, and it should be clear, soothing, and user friendly.
I see so many sites which are just Scams, they use a single web page on whole of that domain and hosting and invite people to join the program with a "FAKE" seal on those pages!!
By the way, I am a male.

I am a female.
Some of these bad websites you are talking about are designed by someone that either does not really know how to design website or does not care. Then there are this websites with huge graphics and glittery graphics and the page takes forever to load in.
I think overall the webpages are getting better looking today as well as more user friendly. I remember the days when most pages looked boring or just horrible.
