TEXTO 1
Dealing with Sensitive Materials on the Internet
With the emergency of user-friendly online systems, the World Wide Web and its introduc-
tion into the classroom, more and more children are taking advantage of the power of the internet.
However, it remains largely an adult forum, and so it carries with it adult subject matter.
Does it raise the question of what __________ when adult topics and a child’s naive explorations
meet? The debate has raised not only questions of obscenity, harassment, free speech, and censorship,
but also of government control of the Internet, and its very nature as a communications resource.
Whatever the outcome of this war is, it will set a precedent for how society and government deal
with the exchange of information in the future. Is the internet a free forum for
discussion or is it a broadcasting service and therefore subject to the same restrictions as
television, print, or radio?
Are to internet communications on the right privacy covered by the, or can e-mail messages be
legally observed…? Are web pages free speech or are some subjects taboo on the internet because a child
may stumble upon them? And who is responsible for internet content in a communications medium
where traditional publishing scenarios no longer apply and content can be posted anonymously?
For people who wish to control or limit the use of the internet, the issue of children and porno-
graphy has been a valuable tool for gaining public support. The key is to find a solution to protect our
children while at the same time, avoid setting up a climate of control that will limit our rights as adults.

TEXTO 2
A handwritten note from September 11
In moments of crisis, our first thoughts are usually to get in contact with the people we love. Septem-
ber 11, 2001, was a day when many people wanted to know that their loved ones were safe. At 9:37 a.m.,
the Pentagon was attacked by terrorists who crashed an airplane into the western side of the building.
Many people tried using the mobile phones that existed then, but few were successful. Franklin
and Daria Gaillard (Frank and Chip) were both members of the Air Force and worked at the
Pentagon. They worked in different parts of the building and had a previous agreement that they
would meet at their car in the parking lot if there were any emergency.
Daria was the first to arrive at the car and wrote a note to Franklin saying “Frank – Sweetie I am
okay. I’m w/ my office over by the Lyndon B. Johnson Memorial Sign. I’ll stay there till you come. Love
lots & lots, Chip.” Frank found the note and was able to locate his wife in the aftermath of the attack.
What makes this story so interesting is the handwritten note. Today, in our digital culture, we
have a variety of ways to let people know that we are safe. Text messages, voicemail, and different
forms of social media can be used to get the information out to loved ones. In 2001, when these
attacks __________(1), the cellular network was still growing and was not as robust as it is today.
This letter is just one of the many objects that The National Museum of American History

Witness to History.
