Internet Safety

I chose to read http://www.lds.org/ldsorg/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=2354fccf2b7db010VgnVCM1000004d82620aRCRD&locale=0&sourceId=ac58759235d0c010VgnVCM1000004d82620a____. It's an article about how to enjoy the benefits of the internet while still keeping it a safe place for your children.

The articles had many things in common. Some of the main points I got were that you need to keep your computer in a main traffic place, have a filter on your internet, and see how to see the history of websites. Another thing that I thought was a good idea was one article said that you should instruct your children that if something sexual or inappropriate pops up, they need to come and tell the parent immediately. That takes a away the shame and mystery of it. I thought it was a really good idea.

After reading all of these articles, I am a much more conscious person as far as internet safety goes. I had no idea about how scary the internet can be.

It is extremely beneficial for parents to be conscientious about the internet and safety for their children. They need to make sure they are spending more time with their children than their children are spending in a virtual reality. We need to make sure our children have a real reality, rather than a virtual one.
