I'd add that people might pass it along to educators (and others) who think that technology is <i>salvation</i> as well. The errors in judgment that young people made 30 years ago (let alone 100) tended to stay within walking distance. That's no longer true. Educators and parents need to help young people experiment (and learn from experience) -- developing an appropriate balance between social risk and reward. Harold,
