I think there should be one universal rule, when it comes down to Internet use. Each family should have their "family" computer in a central location, where mom and dad can keep an eye on what is going on. I know people that have a computer for each one of their children, and they are in the children's rooms. Who knows what they are doing on ye old Internet, after mom and pop have gone to bed. Computers are a necessity, but not that necessary. When I was a lad, computers took up whole rooms, well to be honest they were about the size of a washing machine, but still, nobody had one. I didn't get a computer, until I was in middle school (The last year of Primary School). Ah, the glory days of the Commodore 64...
What are your thoughts on the whole MySpace fiasco? MySpace, where they have no mace, for the teenagers to spray in the eyes of filthy child molesters. Yep, that is my thought. Myspace is like any other communication medium that has come and gone over the past few years. Any teenager that does not understand the dangers, and is unattended, while on-line, is in danger. Of course, the same could be said for a kid walking on the streets alone. It is the same situation, if you think about it. Parents must become more involved in their kids lives.
