Re: Sinful Technology or Sinful Content?
We are very protective of what our children watch. I agree that even a few seconds of exposure to something graphic can be harmful to a small child's psyche. There are family friendly channels that don't EVER have graphic content of any kind. Those are the ones our children are allowed to freely access.
I don't believe in being over-protective, but we should be in control of what our children view and when, in direct proportion to their level of maturity. As a parent, I know when my child is ready to be educated in various areas, and I'm not going to allow a third person or media source to dictate that for me.
Bottom line--I think it's the content that matters, not the technology, but content DOES matter. Protecting your children (and yourself) from certain content is responsible and prudent.
