There are four items which are, for the most part, encountered in daily life and accessible to the average citizen of the Western First World; with some blurring between the first two, they are (1) the telephone (2) the calculator/computer, (3) the automobile, and (4) the hand-held firearm.
Much of the controversy in the present-day exchange of human opinion revolves around the control of access to, and monitoring of use of these four devices.
Some general comments by the membership of this forum would be welcome.
The roles of the telephone and the calculator/computer are merging and will become indistinguishable. I think the issue we need to address is how do we embrace that technology without detrimental effects to our children's development? Currently the devices are having negative impacts on mental development and social skills.
As powerful as computers are said to be today, its interesting there is no attempt to restrict access to them, NONE at all as far as I can tell, that is strange.
Think about it...ANYONE can buy ANY computer they like, no matter how powerful it is, a 12 yr old kid, a 45 yr old, an 81 yr old, someone with numerous felonies, even sex crimes, as long as they have the money, they can all purchase any kind of computer they like!
So you all are against freedom of speech and the exchange of information. Sounds very North Korean.
People today are willing to sacrifice freedom/liberty for the sake of safety, even temporary or perceived safety! (except when it comes to computers though..For some odd reason).
