The ability to see whatever you want in video wherever you go has only been around commonly circa 2006. Portable electronic media that allows this is very new compared to the printed word. I think it probably changes the brain much more and differently than the printed word. I suspect this will become more apparent to society as time passes and whether it’s a good or bad thing. I can’t see it going away now, so I guess we are stuck with it in any case.

At church last week the verse was about walking with grumblers, standing with slanders and sitting with evil doers. (Okay, I can’t remember the exact type of people, but the point was walking, standing and sitting.)
Walking by something on the internet that catches an interest but is a poor influence.
And then the internet makes a concentrated effort to suck you in further. Sure, you might like a certain type of book and the next week, if you remember, you’ll go to the library and find a similar one.
But the internet - “Because you liked this video, you might like this one.”
And, you can always find a site that will reinforce your thoughts and ideas - even if they are wrong.
