After reading Communications and Cyberspace, it appears that we can all agree on that with all of the good of Internet comes plenty of bad. But how is this any different than any other form of media used previously?

The difficulty has been how do people know how to choose good information from the bad. So, society over the years have done its best to teach people how to filter. The same goes for the digital age we are now in. Ultimately, we are left with the duty to filter through all of the this information and teach our children how to do it.
