Kids are finding out about the potential for discovery online from other sources; many of them have computers at home, for instance, or their friends have them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Kids listen to everything on the Internet.
Parents have the ability to screen their children's Internet access at home.
The Internet is just bringing all kinds of information into the home. There's just a lot of distraction, a lot of competition for the parent's voice to resonate in the children's ears.
Being able to see an activity log of where a kid has been going on the Internet is a good thing.
Keep an eye on what your kids are seeing online. Parents need to stay involved in what their children are being exposed to. It's so important.
Technologically we can deliver the ability of parents to be able to log into a school intranet, be able to see what homework has been set or look at lesson planning, whether the child is attending, see what the timetable is like, all of that is possible and there are some schools that are doing it already.
Even in the developing parts of the world, kids take to computers like fish to water.
Children who use the Internet are much better informed than when I was young. Use this to your advantage.
I don't even want to guess at what computer literacy might do to children, except to say that if cyberspace is considered a place, then there are people who are already in it and people who are not in it.
If you look where kids are spending time on the Net, they may have all the information in the world, but they're not accessing it.
