What a shock that a moral panic of a new thing was wrong.

Like it was about table top games. And violent video games. And rock and roll. And comic books. And mass adoption of the television. And mass adoption of the radio. And mass adoption of newspaper.

Anytime someone says "this is the worst thing ever invented and it's harming our youth" always assume it's wrong until it's proven otherwise. Otherwise we'd be much much worse off as a society.
