Seriously, who cares this much about the internet? I for one will be happy if my kids spend less time online than me. Similar to what a smoker would feel seeing cigarettes finally be banned, I suppose.

It's also ironic that this guy is so adamant about protecting the children on xitter. It's like preaching against racism on 4chan.

> who cares this much about the internet?

The Internet pretty much runs our lives now, so: I do.

Lots of things require having Internet access, an email address, being able to visit a website, coordinate with others on a Facebook page for a local group, etc.

No one requires me to buy a pack of cigarettes to register for classes, pay bills, submit something to the government, etc.
