Yeah. Weird and creepy.
The new thing to do:
One central home computer. It all happens at the kitchen table or hallway office. No being talked or tempted into porn. (See "Hold on to Your Kids").
Friending or having Auntie friend Adolescents FB.
But you know all this. As Yul Brenner in the King and I would say: etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
Last year or so there was a wrenching NYT magazine piece about a young man who was pulled into a nightmare world of drugs and prostitution: how it happened, excruciatingly step by step, and all the real freaks* out their who profited. Highly triggering--a rare foray for me :(
yeah. And public telephones. I thought of just chucking my cell...then remembered that there aren't any phone booths.
Be well HP.
