I feel strongly about the costs of what I call the "low-cost information age" on our future generations. I wrote about this some time ago.

Your post makes some good points. I think it somes somewhat from the first law of media, in that as access to information increases, the actual attention your kids pay to the 'right values' dimishes, and attention to noise increases.

It is sad, but I suppose 'modern' or 'well-off' families could bear the brunt of that ('growing up gotti' would be proof of this).

What concerns me is what will happen as OLPC, FonePlus and others make the information accessible to the low-income markets. Those people cannot bear the costs of the disillusioned children.
