Talking on the Internet
By Dave Korsmeyer
There is an ongoing, valuable, discussion about the role of
parents versus the role of government when it comes to providing
or restricting information to our children.
There are many good points about having both sides involved.
As a parent, when I talk my child to the bookstore or the library
I appreciate the section signs and the indicators the allow me to
see the information I desire.
I understand and support the location of obscene and
pornograpohic material in a known age-restricted area.
However, I do not want the freedom that allows me to share
information to be restricted.
The internet is a two-way commuication media.
It is not like the TV It is not like the Newspapers It is not
like the bookstore It can act like all of the above, but it is
most like the phone system.
I request a parcel of information. I receive a parcel of
information.
If I want to "dial" up som information, then I do. If not, I does
not intrude upon my computer.
My child will be taught to use the internet as she will be the
phone. Don't call someone you shouldn't.
