Pros of Anonymity

Recently, in class, we have been exposed to the events that include acts of online anonymity that have been more positive, and I have enjoyed these. I feel as though anonymity in certain aspects of the Internet is important because there have been occurrences where sometimes, people may need to ask questions or learn new information, they may not be able to do it because they are afraid of what people might say. The unknown writer would not be writing it if he or she knew people would find out who they were. That's why they make sure it is unknown. I feel this "secret" is needed for people to have the confidence to say what is on their mind or how they feel.
