I am assuming your comment was directed at me so I will respond.
There is a vast difference in accessibility and the acceptability of internet capable devices (which will be ubiquitous) and the “various other forbidden items for sale.” Besides for which the devices have other purposes and uses which appeal greatly to the younger demographic (such as gaming). It has nothing to do with rebelling – once these devices get to the point where they are practically disposable (because of the cost/cost of replacement) it will become difficult to monitor and filter each device especially when they may very likely be going on networks other than your own.
My main argument was against the one size fits all solution and it seems that most of the posters agree with the sentiment to differing degrees.
By popups I meant the “inadvertent argument” – that it is impossible to surf the net without encountering indecent advertisements.
That could and will happen even if filters become common place. In my humble opinion there is no reason why an 8th grader should have regular access to a computer with internet in the first place, filtered or not….
