There was a time when security at the personal technology level meant keeping the virus invaders at bay. This usually meant that you buy some antivirus package (NAV being my favorite) and hope that takes care of things. The more conservative kept backup and maybe now we assume that life is fine.
However, the interactive nature of personal media/IT usage implies it is beginning to mirror our real life interactions with people. So, just like we tell ourselves to be careful with strangers, so too does it apply to unsolicitied chat messages etc. Just like we tell children not to mingle with foul mouthed friends, so too has that need come with games/movies etc.
A great post on this can be got at http://www.techtree.com/India/News/Towards_a_Safer_Internet_for_Children/551-81694-643.html
You probably can guess now that IT/Tech oriented security is a far greater threat than the virus now and is no longer concerned with just the computer.
I am hoping that soon there will be secure hardware scramblers for foul language builtin within a TV or a DVD player. Maybe even auto scramblers for porno images/videos/chat messages/sms messages.
I do think that Internet Service Providers, TV Broadcasters, Cable TV and other such Media Distribution Companies have a part to play and in fact, can give this as a value-added paid service. I know I will be willing to pay for it.
Keep safe !!
