Concerned Parents Online
Star-Telegram | 07/11/2006 | MySpace from two viewpointsTwo magazines have analyzed MySpace with two totally different outcomes.
Is it "the hottest social networking site on the planet" as
Wired
magazine indicates? Or perhaps is it a web for danger with "sexual predators lurking on the site" as claims
Fortune
magazine?
Or is it both?
Perhaps more than anything, this article represents the generational disconnect that has taken place in the wake of MySpace. Does
Wired
represent the younger, hipper generation, who only sees the fun and potential that this site has to offer? And if so, then does
Fortune
, from the school of older, established tradition, only see the dangers lurking in this new technology? And is that representative of the familial dilemmas that are facing us with this new interactive media?
Where's the meeting point? Nothing changes if there's no middle ground. We need to talk to our kids and reach some sort of common understanding.
