Changes in the past altered the way of living. Changes in modern times alter the way of thinking. All the transformations that took place in the previous centuries have brought about huge shifts in how people led their lives because new ways of doing things were provided: different means of transportation, of manufacturing things, of growing food or harnessing the forces of nature brought a lot of benefits to mankind. People's mentality was transformed, too, but slowly, mainly thanks to thinkers who expressed their revolutionary ideas through books and convivial conversations. Today computers (the Internet) are changing the way of thinking. They carry out the miracle of communication in ways that allow the instantaneous transmission of voice, written words and, most of all, images that have the power to instill in young minds a distorted view of reality, of the values of life. Progress is good but...are all means beneficial and acceptable?
