The evils of the internet?

Just saw this on CNN.com...

MySpace sued after sick bastards sexually abuse teens

It's an interesting double edge to what Kevin talks about in class, isn't it? For all the good the Internet and blogging and MySpace has done (and that's a lot), all it takes is one evil bastard to abuse it. Or in this case, 4 evil bastards. And I'm pretty sure it's not the first time this has happened. Nor will it be the last. Unfortunately, as with any advance in technology, there'll always be a bunch of whackjobs who'll find ways to pervert it. Always remember, kids... Tech in and of itself isn't evil. It's the people who use it. Guns don't kill people, people kill people and all that.

Well done... you've gone ahead and delved into social commentary. Indeed, the Internet is but a tool. For us to use it, we have to ask ourselves if the benefits outweigh the risks. I believe COM125 is going to be natural for you.
