Because, there has been a chance to download songs, movies, presentations by children from the un-trusted sites without adult supervision which is very harmful to the workstation and may delete important files, programs from the hard disk. Thus, there is a possibility for the hackers to hack the system and broke the privacy of the family members using the computer. There must be adult supervision for the children using the internet services in the computer. For example, Children once fall as a victim of sex-off enders, he/she spends a lot of time on-line, especially during the night time. This addiction make this as their routine thing in their schedule, long term gradually affecting their study and loss of concentration in the study area. There is high risk using the internet at night times rather than day time, because most of the sex-offenders spend their time during this peak time and search for the children to lure them into this abusive content. Now-a-days children are most aware about the browser history and clear them off once they finish using the internet services in the computer and parents get confused by seeing the empty log in the computer.

There also must be the awareness programs in their schools and get to the real usage of the internet uses and mention about the do 's and don 'ts. This make the children show interest towards the positive side and increase the chance to use the computer with internet in a proper way relating to their study and social awareness content. In this case, personal monitoring of the computer/laptop is definitely needed. Recently I have gone through a situation where my laptop was being broken by someone within my fellow roommates . This happened when I 'm being to my country, India and my laptop is here in the USA. After I came back here and being noticed that my laptop was broken, I got to know who broke that laptop, just because of the "personal monitor software" which I installed it before leaving to my
Some will say that if tennagers know that they are being watched they will be more cautious. Teenagers will find other ways of communicating to their friends like text messages or cell phones and those options are better because they do not offer the anonymity and danger of the internet. Also some will say that teenagers can block the content that they are watching from their parents. If parents talked to their children about why they are installing spyware and the dangers of the internet it can prevent all of this. Installing spyware in your children’s computer is not meant to be an invasion of privacy it is just meant to help monitor what our children are
Children are very delicate and they should be taken care of whether they are concerned offline or online. Thus, USA government has placed some rules and regulation to protect the children from being victims of those who have criminal records in terms of sexual abuse, child labor, and depriving of education. The government introduced some laws for the webmasters who operate the sites gathering personal information from those who are under 13 years of age.
Technology has spread like a virus throughout the world. Almost everyone has access to technology. Technology, though it is a blessing has it’s dangers. Harlan Coben writes of parental monitoring. He is in great favor of parents putting spyware on their children’s devices to have access to all the devices information, in and outgoing message, and so forth. The article titled, The Undercover Parent, informs parents of the dangers of the internet and that monitoring is necessary. I agree with Coben, parents should monitor their kids internet use, be it on a phone, computer, and gaming consoles. Many teens do not know of the internet’s dangers that are lurking around corners ready to ensnare them.
The internet has become such a big deal in the last decade with personal and educational use that we as people are having a hard time protecting ourselves let alone our children, we need to keep them safe and secure but still allow them to explore the internet with freedom and trust. Because of children entering this world at an alarming rate they are at the biggest risk of
The internet has become such a popular subject over the last 10 years. Someone who allows themselves to be included into the internet world can experience both positive and negative effect on their lives. Everyone should be able to enjoy having online time, but only in small amounts.
This shows that, internet censorship is one of the most important things for parents to use if they want to keep their child safe and sound. Therefore, parent involvement in their children's internet
Now, there are many ways to censor parts of the Internet from children by either downloading some software that keeps them off the site or you can set up a different login for them that doesn't give them the access to certain places without administrative permission AKA your permission, or you could sit there yourself and monitor their progress and teach them everything so they won't do what you don't want them to do but as no child wants to be monitored on the computer as they do what they want to which is either look up games on the Internet, watch cartoons, or whatever else they may or may not do on there.
As technology advances, parents have an even more challenging responsibility, to protect their adolescents from the criminals and pedophiles on the internet. Once on the internet, one is always in danger of being monitored by these criminals and pedophiles by the use of spyware. Spyware is a software used to log every single step someone can take while on the computer, such as a child, which could be argued as an invasion of privacy or parental responsibility. Parents have the ability to use this software so they can “monitor” their kids, but is it the right thing to do? Parental monitoring is a highly controversial topic today because of the two conflicting sides of whether spyware is a parenting tool used to keep kids and teens safe online, or a deep invasion of privacy and a violation of trust. Although there are many predators online that can physically and emotionally hurt the youth, parents should not monitor their adolescents by the use of spyware, because it is extremely harmful to their relationships and they are also harming their child by not letting
It is important that not only should schools help with students to increase the positivity, but parents should come up with solutions in order to help adolescents be more aware with their problems at task. The use of technology and internet usage can become what of a danger if parents are not restricting certain things and having guidelines for what their childr...
Using the internet can give you many advantages however, there are people out there that are hackers and have a perverted approach to the internet. The ‘Child Development Institute’ had some things that needed to be said for the safety of the children on the internet; “A child should never know more than a parent does about the internet. At the very least, you should know about the same. If you are looking to block adult websites or websites that have offensive language, it will not do you any good if your teenager knows ways to get around the parental controls that you set.” This quote has a good point for teens however they are wrong. This quote is from the Child Development Center on how they feel about it however people haven’t looked at the good side of it. Children can be out of control anytime however it is the parent's responsibility to give them consequences so they don’t do it
The use of the Internet has exploded in the past few decades, and the age of the user is swiftly declining as well (Greenfield, Patricia, and Zheng Yan). “The spread of Internet access has been described as nine times faster than that of radio, four times faster than the personal computer, and three times faster than television” (Shields, Margie, and Behrman 5). The Internet has woven itself into people’s daily lives and has really changed culture in numerous ways. It has helped make education more accessible, especially to those in developing countries. Specifically, it has brought life saving health practices and information to those who otherwise would have gone without it. Also, children who need extra help learning, like kids with special
“Parents play an important role in the psychosocial development and well-being of their children” (van den Eijnden). Undeniably, the quote makes a bold declaration that all parents in today’s technologically advanced society should understand and follow. With 90% of teenagers between the ages of 12 and 15 using the internet (Sorbring), it is important for an adult to monitor their daily usage and behavior. “Only 39 percent of parents report using parental controls for blocking, filtering, or monitoring their teenager’s online activities” (Dell’anotnia). Parents should monitor their teenagers’ daily internet use and behavior by engaging in meaningful conversations and dialogue that allow for fostering a healthy relationship.
The internet is full of many things that could make us smarter. However, the internet is full of websites, games, even photos that could very likely have a negative effect on children and their behaviors. Also their education, speech could become affected and they could start doing badly in school or start cursing at a young age. Another thing is that their attitude towards life changes, instead of seeing it as their own giant happy playground they can view it as a very bitter and cold place and start looking, feeling, and talking negatively.
Everything revolves around the internet these days. Every business, big or small has a internet website for you to visit. Let’s face it, the internet is not going away, we as a people must learn to use this tool and not think of it as a negative thing. The internet must be used positively to benefit us. We can find anything we want through the internet. The internet can be abused but we must educate our children so they can use it effectively to their advantage. We definitely need to make most schools have the internet in classrooms, there is no doubt about it.
According to a study by Common Sense Media, teenagers in the U.S. are using media an average of 9 hours a day. There is no mystery behind why teens enjoy the internet; it is a wonderful place, with the world's largest libraries, arcades, and stores. Anyone can do anything on the internet; but, with great power, comes great responsibility–something many teens lack. Parents should be protecting their children by monitoring internet usage, in case of internet predators, inappropriate websites, and to prevent cyberbullying.
