The Culture War

How new media keeps corrupting our children.

US senator Charles Schumer says some videogames aimed at kids
"desensitize them to death and destruction." But dire pronouncements
about new forms of entertainment are old hat. It goes like this: Young
people embrace an activity. Adults condemn it. The kids grow up, no
better or worse than their elders, and the moral panic subsides. Then
the whole cycle starts over. Here's how the establishment has greeted
past scourges.

Share and enjoy,
