Interpersonal Communication/Children

Children seem to be the experts in technology today. It is funny to observe a child explain to their parents how to use a computer or an iPod. This shows just how fast paced technology is. Children on the Internet has its advantages, but like anything else in life it also has its disadvantages. Children today can find anything on the internet. Children are at an extreme advantage with the Internet. Their capabilities are endless. They can check the weather, do their homework, and look up useful information whenever their little heart desires! Children and the internet do scare me. For instance, chat rooms; there is no guarantee that you are talking to who you believe you may be talking to. There is no way for parents to monitor who their child is speaking to. Another disadvantage is porn. It is everywhere on the internet and even if you do have child controls on your computer, its inevitable that they will come across some sort of porn.
