Question

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 authors 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 internets evolution

Explanation:

The author describes the Internet as having "no intelligence," "no rules," etc. This shows flaws. By highlighting these issues (lack of organization, no regulations), it implies the Internet needs improvement. The other options are incorrect: there's no mention of computer users being unskilled (only neophytes' frustration), no criticism of federal control (no mention of federal role), and no chronology (no time - based development details).

Answer:

to prove that the Internet needs improvement
