legal, cultural or political can be applied in the real world, but are useless because every time a step in the virtual life

is a curious thing, for anyone with a sense of history, we live half way through a revolution. Few people today doubt that our often painful transition to the digital age is likely to be as important as the Industrial Revolution or the Reformation. But in our environment, what is fascinating is the feeling of powerlessness over this rapid change. It is as if we move the stop signs in a tsunami.

Take

porn. For all the immeasurable benefits of the Internet, is a sad but undeniable fact that it's full of things. Digital highways are clogged with brilliant nuggets of creation, but with the flesh quivering and moaning exaggerated. We complain of the offer, and brush on demand. The seemingly insatiable appetite of the average dirt browser

But what to do about it? The government is in consultation with Internet service providers to try to force them to take action. The idea is that we will have to opt-in to our digital shots. The problem, as with any technology, the head tell you is that it is almost impossible to effectively block pornography. Filters use keywords or image-based triggers. But it would be to block legitimate websites. Sex. Cock. No - I just block the Guardian of the ISP in the future

Imagine the perfect system of filtration is averted. How long does it take the average of 15 years to develop a right hand? While it takes to write "avoid blocking ISP" on Google.

Such an action is technically feasible and morally suspect - of pornography is legal and hand over the power to censor the bureaucrats is dangerous. But, as readers of the Daily Mail angry, I prefer that my children have not, while innocently surfing, racing in the Big Bad Wolf fucking Red Riding Hood.

is a sensitive subject, the flash point. But it is also part of a larger puzzle. As our lives increasingly migrating online, we live in two worlds at once, and that are completely antithetical to the other. You have borders, we do not. In one case, are required to pay for goods and services, the other not. One that is tangible and apply the rules of social discourse politeness, on the other, something happens - the evil that permeates the small social media grows in anonymity and distance

At the risk of being too deterministic, it seems we are at the stage of this revolution in a game of panic - the equivalent of the media based on the Luddites smashing machines. Give us a movable element of a broader, complex and changing to try to take control of it.: Therefore, panic porn

-called neo-Luddites are increasing. A fear that the defense is that technology is advancing rapidly cannibalizing middle-class jobs in the same way that progress destroys the craft industry and agriculture.

This theory has some validity. Professor David Autor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has found a growing polarization in the labor market in the United States. There is a growing demand for highly skilled jobs and well paid, unskilled and low paid, and anyone caught in the midst of suffering. He blames this change in one part of the technology, which is the automation of the average, but routine.
