This article really struck a chord with me, since I'm increasingly worried about my children growing up in a world that is fundamentally different from the one I grew up in. It's incredibly hard to make sure that children are not confronted with disturbing imagery and all the propaganda that is circulating online without the fully developed critical thinking of an educated adult. How do you go about making sure your children become responsible adults online?

A physics teacher once told me there is no stronger force in nature than a teenage boy looking for online porn.

Probably true. Luckily my son hasn't yet gotten to that age, but he certainly will, sooner rather than later...
