If you don't know what I mean by "Six Degrees of Separation" then go Google a bit. I'm not going to explain it.
I had a frustrating reminder that, with the modern Internet, you are never more than six degrees (in this context, that means "clicks of a link on a web page") from shocking images. (OK, I'll say it outright -- "porn.")
Late at night, finishing my online gaming, too pumped up my the last game, I decided to follow some links from my very own blog site. Admittedly, I was trying to take an unpredictable route. I wanted to see something -- oh, "interesting" shall we say -- and it didn't take long to reach a blogger's site talking about the fun she and a friend had had. Click the link. Pictures pop up. Bam! More than I was expecting!
Someone, somewhere, will do, or has already done, a study on this very topic. But we all know it's true. I'll bet you could start at the homepage of "The 700 Club" and, picking the right set of 6 links, end up at the entrance to all sorts of things Pat Robertson would never admit to dreaming about.
What a tangled Web we've woven.
