learning to parent in an internet world

I was pleased to see the huge donation of laptops which were sent to Africa (though I have heard and read much about this, I have not bothered to see WHO was sending them, sorry), but today's headlines came right from the "duh!" file. The Nigerian government has announced that the kids to whom the laptops were donated are...ready for this...looking at porn! Shocking and unexpected, I know! Apparently, unsupervised kids will look up prurient materials anywhere in the world. I would like to meet the people who thought they were going to view instructional materials when left to their own devices, I want to meet them because I want to see the lobotomy scars. If we have learned nothing since the advent of the internet, have we not learned that without structure or supervision the average kid from anywhere will not only look at porn but will try to find a way to pass it on to others. Heck, adults are just as bad and we are supposed to have some semblance of discipline. All this time I thought grief was the Great Equalizer, it made everyone the same. Nope, I was wrong, its internet porn.
