Dear All: has there been much attention given a new Jan 30th report
'Communications: revolution and reform' from the UK-based Institute for
Public Policy Research ("a left-leaning think tank"), calling for "all
children to pass the equivalent of a cycling proficiency test before they
are allowed on the digital superhighway ... eleven year-olds should have to
take a 'surfing proficiency test' to advise them what to trust on the
net...'
Is this a case of over-bearing paternalism, or a good idea?
regards
Geoff Lealand
