Muting the Screen


In line with the last blog entry, I suggest a new function on television and video controls: a "mute" for the screen. In other words, to facilitate home censorship of gratuitous sex scenes on the screen, we need (and have long needed) a "shield", "screen", or "block" button to blacken the screen (at will) during the sexually explicit scenes.


A more advanced form of the same thing would be to have a firewall feature built in to all videos and all television programing to make them decency friendly with one press of a button, sort of like what is already widely available for the Internet.


At the very least, what the ubiquitous mute button is for the audio, we also need for the video a "shield" button.


This could greatly facilitate seeing Jesus in our home theater for "Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God". It could also help create a safer home environment especially for the youth.
