The sky is falling, the sky is falling…
We hear all sorts of warnings for our protections. Global Warming, The next Ice Age, latest internet cons, Conspiracy theories, etc…
A lot of these are very entertaining, based on just enough fact to get you thinking, but no definitive consequence that is base in reality.
One of these scenarios a few months ago dealt with a web site that was being abused my teenagers and sexual predators a like. This site was myspace.com. Having a couple teen age girls in my house I had my concerns, but they knew my rules on internet usage.
Well this past week I found one of my daughters had a my space account. Business Week calls this next generation Generation @. An NBC Dateline story in January takes a more relaxed look at the site and its possibilities but still points out ease for anyone to put anything.
I started surfing myspace. If you have teens or pre-teens I think you should look at what our youth has access to.
This is just like building a community room for teens and not putting any rules or adult supervision. The language and rantings of these on going conversations would make the proverbial Sailor blush.
As you may guess, This dad is the bad guy at my house this week.
