Sexting is an Action, Will Laws Really Matter?

April 14, 2009 - PRLog -- Jay walking is illegal isn't it? But we do it anyway.

Underage drinking is illegal isn't it? But how many of us can say we never tried that either?

How about speeding? Can you say you have never been pulled over, or drove faster than the posted speed limit?

In other words, there are very few of us in society that can honestly say we have never broken the law.

The point is, the legal discussions taking place right now as a reaction to the "sexting" phenomenon are not going to solve this problem, or any other digital problem.

Our society is bombarded with tips, information and media stories about digital issues, but how many of us are really taking time out of out busy schedules to research this information.

Further, how many tweens, teens, and young adults are going to do something just because their parents, teachers, or the news told them to (or not to).  Did you listen to your elders all the time when you were a kid?  Most kids today could probably teach their parents a thing or two about technology.

If fact, how many digital mistakes are made by adults on a daily basis because they are ignorant to today's technological advancements and pitfalls.  

The point is, we live in a digital world, and all of us require a (digital) education in "Digital Responsibility".

The education of this social concept is what will reduce the instances of poor judgment online for all of us (not just teens) and the digital issues we all face (not just "sexting").

There is only 1 organization in the world that currently teaches I.R.O.C.2's social concept of "Digital Responsibility", and that is The Institute for Responsible Online and Cell-Phone Responsibility's Speakers Bureau.
