Man....when we were kids....we didn't even THINK about picking what was going to be watched on TV....much less would we have had access to what would've been 'Dad's' computer. My parent's were wonderful....but their idea of the 'Information Highway' was bopping you in the head if you got out of line. THAT was your information! Either it COMPUTED....or you would get in again.
I know people think our society has progressed beyond that....but they are WAY WRONG! I think kids were much happier when they knew their place and boundaries.
