Children's exposure to negative internet content is on the rise. Exposure to pornographic, violent online games, online gambling, and so on has deemed the cyber world unsafe for our kids. The problem is that kids of this generation cannot imagine a life without the cyber world, social networks such as facebook, twitter, etc. They just cannot see themselves living a quiet normal life where you are not being bullied constantly on facebook or held for every word spilled on twitter which by the way is irretrievable. In a world where our teens are as familiar about sex, drugs and violence through the internet media, blogs and youtube. It raises concerns as to where we are headed as a society.
How do you think we can protect our children against the detrimental effects of the cyber world. How can we understand the degree to which our child is exposed to negative cyber content? How can we excercise our rights as parents to influence positive internet usage?
