Information to protect your children online
Concerned Parents Online
Concerned Parents OnlineTuesday, June 06, 2006News 8 :: KFMB Stations, San Diego, CaliforniaThis is a link I received via a Craigslist subscription I have for household goods for sale... Although it did not totally fit in that category, I found the relevance to my current project to be fairly amusing... This article links to a news clip (and also features a summary) regarding a new software program: PC Pandora Viewer. Initially intended for couples who suspected infidelity, this program is now being used to record online activity of kids online. The marketing director for Pandora's company referred to it as "the TiVo of the Internet" as it quite literally records activity for future parental viewing. The program also allows parents to manually block certain sites- should a child try to access the prohibited site, both the parent and the child receive an email about this transgression. In all honesty, I'm not sure how I feel about this as I was raised in a home where privacy was respected and obedience was expected. However, we live in a changing society. This may well present a solution for parents who can not be as hands-on as they would like to be. Nonetheless, speaking with your children about these dangers and encouraging them to be smart must come first... And then perhaps this is a supplement or an alternative... |
