					<description>As an educator and optimist, I would like to think that MIT's program WAS NOT driven by pornography but rather, to expose children  growing up in poverty-stricken areas to technology and give them the opportunity to explore the world wide web. While MIT's initial plan to distribute one lap top per child sounded great on paper, it was poorly executed and not completely thought out. 

Teachers today have the responsiblity of teaching appropriate internet use. In this day in age, pornography sites come up in searches as innocent as  attemots to find state capital flashcards. (Forgive me for stating the obvious, but students will not learn that the state capital of South Dakota is Pierre if a naked male or female happens to pop up on the screen). Therefore, it is clear that educators did not formulate this plan. The first thing teachers would have included on each laptop would have been a stringent filter juxtapose to AT LEAST five, instructional classes focusing on how to use a lap top. 

And while the article expounds upon how males are using the device, why does it not impart how females are using the internet? So instead of making the presumptuous statement that porn drives everything, the more appropriate questions should be,  "Why are males at ANY age intrinsically drawn to porn? &#38; What are we doing as a society to control childrens' access to such explicit material?"</description>

					<description>The fax machine may be the only piece of technology that wasn't driven by porn...although Alexander Bain may have only realized this after seeing the quality of images transmitted.</description>
