Plague of Pornography

It's no secret that pornography has become a black spot on the advancement of technology. Once relatively difficult to access, pornography often shows up in unwanted situations--ads, popups, etc. How can we protect ourselves and others from this harming influence when it shows up unbidden? Sadly, it's unfeasible to remove all access to the pornography. Even without the internet, it was still available to those who really wanted it. However, measures can and should be taken to help eliminate unwanted access to pornography and make it more difficult to find. By implementing features in social media and other online sites, like Twitter's recently added restriction on search words in their new video service, pornography can become more difficult to find and we can protect ourselves and our loved ones from its harming influence.

Moderation in all things

Technology is an integral part of today's society. The internet, for instance, provides easy access to a vast store of information and makes it possible for people to stay connected around the world. However, it is easy for people to become so engrossed with technology that they neglect their day to day lives and relationships. How many of us spend more time in front of a TV or computer then we do having meaningful conversations with friends or family members? We all need to recognize the importance of moderation in our use technology and not allow it to become the driving force behind our existence.
