Ten Commandments for the Internet Age

Ben Witherington

    Ten Commandments for the Internet Age

1. Thou shalt not have any other Providers before me.
2.  Thou shalt not make for thyself a sacrilegious image using Photoshop or Powerpoint.
3. Thou shalt not bow down and worship thy technology for I am a jealous God punishing the third and fourth generation of computer programs with bugs and viruses and the blue screen of death.
4. Thou shalt not misuse the name of the Lord using emoticons, symbols, java scripts or other flippant forms of expression.
5. Remember the Shut Down time and do not Restart during it. Six days ye shall compute and do all your email and word processing but on the seventh day cease, to make room for the Word Perfect.
6. Honor your parents’ computer illiteracy and answer their snail mail so you may live long in the land.
7. Thou shalt not murder thy computer just because Microsoft Works is an oxymoron.
8.  Thou shalt not commit adultery by means of cyber porn.
9. Thou shalt not steal another’s data, identity, nor illegally download or copy things.
10.  Thou shalt not give false testimony on a blog against thy neighbor whilst hiding behind a pseudonymous blog name.

    Thou shalt not covet thy sister’s laptop, nor her printer, nor her Ipod, nor her cellphone, nor anything that belongs to your neighbor.
