Read this excerpt from "why no policeman on the block? " any neophyte surfing the net for the first time will be frustrated by the fact that it has no intelligence whatsoever; like a newborn baby, it is a blank slate. worse, there are no rules or traffic cops, no regulations or even directory of the internet. what is the author’s purpose for including this statement? to prove that the internet needs improvement to provide evidence that computer users are unskilled to criticize the federal control of the internet to give a chronology of the internet’s evolution

The correct answer is “to prove that the Internet needs improvement”. When the internet was just being deployed and made accessible to the general population, it was completely in its inception phase, there was no previous large-scale experience, the population was not aware of all the possibilities of the new technology and since not all individuals or corporations had any online presence nobody knew how it had to be regulated or developed. It took a couple of years for governments to start setting up the technical parameters of the new medium and a decade for corporations to establish a permanent massive presence in it. It was through user experience that it was improved and continues to be improved and little by little a set of important principles such as Net Neutrality have been established (though corporations are questioning them if they hinder their profit-making).

I believe the answer is A). To prove that the Internet needs improvement.

Hope this helps!
