In the future internet filters are probably going to be as common in businesses and homes as virus software is today.
Families with children and businesses concerned about employee productivity are already using internet filters in significant numbers. Many adults have also begun using these controls to curb their own internet behavior. The three A's of internet porn (anonymity, affordability, and availability) make the temptation to become preoccupied with porn overwhelming for many people.

Businesses are also using filters to reduce liablity for condoning a "hostile work environment" where employees are subjected to objectionable sexual material on their fellow workers' computers. In addition to porn, businesses are also filtering other types of material that may distract employees (sports, health, or financial information, etc.)

Many filters are reviewed on the internet. For a complete discussion about internet filters try the popular site: internet-filter-review.toptenreviews.com.
