Brave new world

Like it or not, kids inhabit some spaces most parents don’t even know about. But when it comes to using digital tools to communicate with and meet friends, there are various options — each with a particular appeal for different age groups.

I'm sick and tired of everybody going on about the dangers of social networking. Most people whom have had their profiles compromised are idiots, because they didn't setup their security properly - probably using a silly password like their name. The rest of the people don't even understand how the system works and they're paranoid. They're just a bunch of uneducated losers whom have a lot to say - with very little knowledge.

Introverts usually don't have a lot to say in the first place. At least social sites like facebook give them a place to express themselves. Take away all of the social technology and what are you left with? Well the same quiet kid whom doesn't have much to say, but with no form of outlet at all.

Every generation of parents seem to have something to blame for the insufficient parenting abilities. First it was television and RAP music, and now it's social networking and violent video games. Maybe, if they knew how to be better parents they wouldn't have so much to blame.
