Tucker’s Blog

A few weeks ago I read an article about online protection for minors. I personally have no protection software on my computer. I don’t feel it is important to restrict what content is viewable for people. I think the anonymity of the internet is a good thing in most circumstances.

I recently read an article that claimed that youtube and social networking sites similar to that have lead to an increase in teen violence. I don’t believe this is true. People have always been desensitized to violence, gladiatorial fights and public executions greatly predate violent movies and videogames. If anything I believe that fighting is less socially acceptable than it was 40 years ago.
