None Dare Call It Porn?
I'm re-reading Neil Postman's, Amusing Ourselves To Death in which he exposes the shift from print to television as our mode of learning and expressing knowledge, and I think I'd like to update his book (he's deceased) to include the internet takeover with the rise of porn. In the linked article here, the author states that:

"There is no choice on the internet today. If you are connected to the internet, you are connected to pornography. You may not encounter it today or tomorrow, but at some unexpected moment, you will."

The author also states:

"The largest consumers of internet pornography are youth 12-17 years of age."

If this doesn't sound an alarm in your mind, then what will? True, television has caused the slow rot of culture, and the decline of intelligence and education in America, but internet porn is growing in leaps and bounds, feeding on narcissistic youth, and growing into a great beast of destruction. That is my opinion of course, and perhaps you have a stronger one. Or perhaps you are participating in your own daily porn habit and would feel hypocritical to speak out against it.

As the 21st Century Church evolves, will we bloat with materialism, narcissism, and deadly secret addictions in silence, or will we stand up and recognize that the hulking internet overshadows the smoking gun of television, rendering it nearly a moot point? Maybe we should ask a 12 year-old who surfs the internet after school that question.
