As the world progresses into the cyberspace world, it becomes easier to access information. However, search engines can bring inappropriate content to it's users. If you type in "How to make a bomb" then google would give you 5,280,000 results. If you type in 'drag' as if you are searching about aerodynamics, the sexual-related websites would come up first before you are able to obtain the information you need. How is it possible to keep the users from negative mind-infulencing content? (If there isn't a way, then why?)

Talk about Online Hazards such as Pornography (logical and mature posts), Online kidnapping, Online Dating, Online Shopping, Online Deception such as false advertising or even worse, tricking you to give millions of your money away.

heh, thats kinda funny

the easiest way to explain what i think would be to say...

humans havent changed that much in 100 or so years, but technology has, before the internet, there were people passing on information by speech or by mail, or like, some other means

the fact is, the internet is just a more organized and with many more people, if you were to stick like a million people in a jar (a really really really BIG jar) with all their needs met, im sure they would share information, and if around 5 months later, you let them out and they explore the world again, they would have knowledge in some very weird fields, like bomb making

yup, and pornography isnt a hazard, its a pleasure (just wanna reinforce that smile.gif )

I think that firefox can solve that problem if they want to but they wont since porn brings in the majority of everyone! It's all a matter of how much money the company has, Microsoft could do it for sure.

Firefox has less security holes than Internet Explorer. IE is also closely integrated into the Windows operating system, so a crash in IE can cause a system crash.

Porn cannot be a pleasure, more like a curse. How can anybody tolerate seeing anything of that nature. It is so dirty and evil that it should not be allowed online.

"negative mind-infulencing content"
Explain how it's negative.
Oh dear Gods no, I just saw a nude women. I must cleanse myself,from this Sin that God has never explained the wrong-ness of, and that has already defiled my innocent childhood as I came out of my mother's womb![/sarcasm]
Damn.
Oh no, I just said a bad word!
Now your life is going to be corrupt, and you will turn into a psychopath that murders everyone he sees!

What's with the '(logical and mature posts)'? confused.gif
Online kidnapping... Okay, that's just about the only true problem I can see. Except that the chances of some random person being kidnapped through the internet are low enough that I don't give a censored.gif .

Online dating. What's wrong with that? Let the idiot learn his lesson the hard way. Unless he's not an idiot, in which case he doesn't need to learn it the hard way.

Online shopping. Okay. Again, I don't feel sorry for anyone who falls for losing their money by trusting some random site or person.

Online deception. Don't trust questionable sources, then.
Tricking you into giving lots of money away? Just don't be stupid enough to fall for such tricks.
