The best part about the digital world is that it reduces the absurd, ridiculous waste of resources that we are used to wasting...like using gasoline to drive to work, to the bank, to shop at the mall.

I have to agree with this post all the way. Even though the whole world may be evolving into using computers for so many things we should use them for it doesn't mean any of us don't want to go swimming in the summer and make snow-forts in the winter...
It's awesome that we can reduce waste or using up valuable resources but the scariest thing about the digital revolution is the sexual exploitation of woman and children on or for the purposes of the internet. And it seems no one is talking about it enough - or trying to increase the world awareness of this sickness!! And trying and convicting the perpetrators of these serious crimes is as much a rarity as the finding and arresting them. (and please don't try to tell me it's not ONLY going on on the internet - that's a given)
What the heck's going on?
