biantai888: In the children's section in the local public library in my area, the children crowd around a few PCs set up for them to use the Internet. It is monitored by a staff member. The kids are ignoring the books in favor of the computers. What the kids are looking at online is horrendously insipid! I am deeply concerned about corporate content for children.
