Along with technology comes people that abuse it. Those abusing it can make one wonder why do we even want to use technology when all we are doing is “cleaning up” after those abusing it.
I know that I don’t enjoy having to log in special to my web site to mark “comments” as spam. But I’m also happy to have that ability so I do not have to subject others that are reading my web site to random letters, content that is better on a pornagraphy site, and links to who knows where.
Before a comment is posted on my site, I must approve it. So on the days the abusers are out abusing technology, I will receive random nonsense comments. Of course I’m emailed when these, or any other, comment is posted. Then I will log in and use the friendly “spam” button to delete those comments away.
So, yes, with technology came those that abuse the technology. But also along with that came ways to combat the abusers of technology so not everyone is subject to the abuse.
