Thirdly, the Internet offers your child a different means of communication. They can meet people of all ages, races, and places. The friends they make on the Internet can be a friend for a day, a week, or a lifetime. The communication that goes on between your child and another on the Internet can be very educational. Yes, there is small talk, but there is much to be gained when you meet someone who lives somewhere else and has different experiences.
Kids can meet other kids by entering chat rooms.
This is just another example of how kids from the 21st century will be doing things different from their parents. Fourthly, the Internet gives your child a chance to be creative and interactive. A child can create his own web page and offer information to others around the world. Kids can pick graphics, text, backgrounds, and set up links that will illustrate them on the Web. As a parent, you may wonder how your child may learn all these skills.
