The thing that scares me the most about the World Wide Web is the amount of negative media I’m exposed too. Anywhere from snuff films to hardcore pornography, the Internet is full of sin. All you need is a little time and maybe a small amount of money for web space and you can broadcast anything you want without restrictions, with the exception of copyrighted material. And with the anonymous factor of the Internet it invites all kinds of people up to no good. Even MySpace isn’t safe when pedophiles are logging on, creating accounts, and preying on young children sexually. MySpace even advertises for some of these shady sites where these Internet predators are waiting and lurking, looking for an opportunity to stimulate the sociopathic tendencies.
Being an older brother to a 15-year-old sister is much tougher now that the Internet is such a solid staple in the American home. She is just as able and capable of finding everything the Internet has to offer and corrupting her young impressionable mind. We also don’t know the developmental effects of such visual sin on these young minds that come across this material during the most impressionable stages of their developing mind. Desensitization is my main concern because is seems like viewing such material would make it less of a impacting experience. Things people would usually never experience are all available thru the Internet Murder, Rape, Suicide, Pornography, And Gambling are just a few of the evils that lurk beneath the surface of the Internet.
