In the 17th and 18th centuries, America went through what was known as the Industrial Revolution, where Western culture as a whole went from using hand-tools to using machines that mass-produced the same items. What once took a week to produce now took a day to produce.(Kitano, 1999) Now, as we cross over into the 21st century, we have entered what has been called "The Information Revolution," or the "Information Age." We live in a time where information is only a mouse-click away for a large portion of the country and the world. Up until ten years ago, people had to go to their local library or purchase an expensive encyclopedia set for their home just to obtain information. Now, information is free and easily accessible from the home. Why pay five hundred dollars for an encyclopedia set when you can get on the Internet and obtain even more information for free? Also, within the past year, Internet service to the home has become available free of charge through certain providers that subsidize their service through advertisements. But with all these advantages, there definitely has to be a "flip side of the coin." An old adage says that everything comes with a price, an

Income spreading, as mentioned in the previous quote, is a practice in which a person or company spreads their income out over a period of time. A good example of this was given to me by my father, Charles Scaglione, who worked for IBM throughout the 1980's as one of their accountants.

In the first court case, AOL was also named as a defendant, but was later granted a summary judgment, not being found liable for Drudge's actions due to protection for OSP's under section 509 of the Telecommunications Act. Drudge had come face to face with what is commonly referred to as the "long-arm" statute of the District of Columbia, because

Again, the question remains: how do we keep pornography on the Internet from minors? The answer is simple: parents must be the gatekeepers because the job does not belong to the government. This solution is not talked about much because a good number of parents in America are too busy with work or other activities to take the time to monitor their children's behavior. The secondary avenue for protecting minors from Internet pornography is using filtering software or "Family-friendly Internet Service Providers," which should be used in conjunction with parental monitoring. There is a bottom line for this issue: If parents do not want their kids viewing pornographic or other material that they deem inappropriate for minors, then they must get involved. Involvement is a small price to pay for tomorrow's future.
