I can't say that the World Wide Web scares me anywhere near as much as Email and chat rooms though. The language on even strongly sexual sites is little worse then what a teacher can inadvertently overhear in a high school locker room. No, I don't like the sexual discussions, vulgar language or demeaning pictures, but kids will get to them. Internet or not. My real fear is interactive media - Email and chat rooms.
Teenagers are very vulnerable.
They are unsure of themselves and of who they are. Those who are willing to tell them who they are and what they can do are a risk. The apple is not as much at fault as the serpent who gives it to an innocent child. We'll never be able to monitor all the Email or chat rooms. You would be amazed at how many kids have Juno accounts.
