Internet. Some think it is the greatest idea on earth, others ehh try to stay away from it just because they may be technology inclined. Then there is the aspect of keeping your kids safe from the dangers the Internet can bring, that is if your child is not smart about what they are doing. In this article it first discusses copyright and fraud even stalking that can be done on a computer. "Internet will enrich many aspects of our daily life." It goes on and looks to see if Internet regulation is a good idea. First it takes off with Internet and children. I focused more on the child and Internet relationship in this piece. Some children are very capable of working wit a computer, some even more able to then the family members they live with. This in a way is scary if you as a parent don't know what your child is doing on the computer because you can not even work it, in a way is dangerous. Some children know better than to talk to random strangers, I would hope most parents teach their children that, but not all are taught this and this is when problems arise.
"Pornography is the third largest sector of sales on the Internet, generating 1 billion annually." You are probably thinking wow. Children can accidentally come upon these sites and be open to a new world. The Internet does not usually teach kids good relationship skills or as the book states the equality of a women (530). It can teach little girls the wrong thing about what a man is suppose to perceive them as and the betrayal of the innocence of your body. When having little kids at home I believe it is a safe idea to have a protection on them so they are not exposed to things like this. I know there are many other ways to persuade kids to make bad choices, but the Internet can always be the quick and easiest. Internet is not always bad it gives you huge access to anything you could possibly need, but when it comes to children try and prtoect them.

Which parts are your opinion and reactions and which are from the article you read? You raise some interesting points, but you drop them quickly and go to the next point. As much as some people love the internet, there are dangers--you make that point very clearly. Organization and focus would help here--I get the feeling you may have just set down and starting writing without thinking a whole lot about thesis and organization. Do you see why I think that's possible?
ReplyDeleteYes I agree. I just do not know how to focus on one idea very well. My mind goes pretty crazy.
ReplyDeleteEven though this writing may have been a little unorganized i still agree with everything you said. The Internet can be a very dangerous place for children and maybe even some teens. It is very important as a parent to help protect your children from the dangers that lurk on any normal website such as Myspace or Facebook. Also, that quote about pornography was crazy! I did not think that at all.
