Student Internet Prayer Poem by Kaci Tami

Our Father, who art Lord of the Internet
Thou art in cyber space
Let thy HTTPS’s be compatible
And texts be readily downloadable
With illustrations and graphics
To suit the assignments that teachers,
Tutors and lecturers set me

Oh Internet
Thou art the World Wide Web
A storehouse of networked computers
Accessible through browsers
like Netscape and Internet Explorer
Show me ways for me to cut and paste
And leave not a trace of the original so
That I may not be sued for plagiarism

Oh Internet
Thou art the new fount of knowledge
In this information age
Give me thy URLs
Protect me from viruses, worms and Trojans
Keep me safe behind thy firewalls
So that my computer is safe
My hard disk and ISP protected
For thine is the saviour
Of assessment tasks that I may endure
The power of retrieval
Of uploads and downloads
