Drudgereport and Technology

March 30, 2009

For many years, one of the few news sites that I tend to peruse daily is the Drudgereport. In fact, ever since he started iDrudgereport (it is the same site just that it can be read on smart phones), I generally read his headlines at the latter site, as there’s no chances whatsoever of running into a visually offensive picture. To that end, I find it rather interesting that recently he has linked to articles that stress the negative effects that the internet, or technology for that matter, can have on our children and teens For instance he has posted the following two headlines:

Truthfully, people try to analyze the politics, philosophy and overall mindset of the sites founder and author, Matt Drudge.

I will not pretend to do so.

Rather, I will merely thank him for this brave statement. Let’s be honest. He is a man who makes millions of dollars each year off of his one website.

As Jews, our Rabbis have warned that we should use the internet as a tool, and to not dilly dally and wander around a web browser, lest we get caught up in what is the world wide web! That said, contemporary society does not have a Rabbi or a “Voice of Reason” who seems to warn parents about the negative effects of using the internet, text messaging, playing countless hours of video games, etc. etc. Indeed, as this article shows, having a story featured on Drudge is dare I say, priceless!

And so, if there is anyone who is sublty warning this generation to not just know where your kid is at night, but to also care about how many hours he or she is in front of a screen, it is Matt Drudge.

Thanks Matt!
