When it comes to trying to understand the Internet's psychological consequences, Jimmy Durante, the old vaudvillian with the prodigious schnoozola, has it right, "Everybody wants ta get inta da act!"

Or is it better to once again realize that children learn from what we adults do and how we care for them.
