The cost of spam

Did you know that spam’s going to cost us $198 billion next year?

* That’s a laptop computer, xBox 360, the yet to be released PlayStation 3, a PSP, broadband Internet for a year, and cell phone and PDA — for every public school child in the United States. (Video Game Consoles Reviews)
* It’s almost four million more teachers. (Digest of Education Statistics)
* Six Category five withstanding levees and floodgates around New Orleans. (All Things Considered)
* That’s four times would it would cost to end chronic hunger in the world (Allen).

We need to make clear to children that spam, virus, and hacking are not a game, that they cost us all a lot.
