insight from rav moshe wolfson shlita; In his shmuess to the shul 1. yidden have a mesorah in staying away from bad and choosing good ” sur mera..” THOSE WERE AlWAYS SEPERATE ” 2. however we dont have a clear mesorah on dealing with something that has so much good , potential, and necessity yet has so much potential evil ” ALL IN ONE” ” gefluchten in one device
3. everything is merumaz and has its roots in brias haolam ( p’ breshis) the mashgiach said the eitz hadas was a tree of knowledge and info ( similar to google) yodea tov vera , and similarly the internet and the smart phone is a ” peiri a fruit of that shoresh, lastly the mashgiach added that’s possibly why the symbol is AN APPLE WITH A BITE MISSING. his message was if its nec. use it a s a tool , not as a browsing form of entertainment , keep out of shul and tefilos should be undisturbed LASTLY that a person must realize that any aveira done with the internet is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY and dont blame it on ” the keli” as the kotzker told a talmid doing gilgul sheleg ” az doo hust choteh geven , farvoos peinigst to dein guf – the guf didnt do it YOU DID
