Internet Safety assignment

I have watched the PBS documentary on the subject. I think that it is interesting that PBS would do a documentary about this. After all, the internet and electronic communication has grown exponentially.
The documentary addresses concerns about internet safety: concerns that parents have, and things that can go wrong. I have heard of them before, which is partly why I have not used technology that much. The video is short, yet it makes people want to watch the full documentary, and think about internet safety.
The PBS site has also several articles that help parents in regards to their fears of their children using the internet. It educates people on how to be safe on the internet.
I read the article by the FBI agent Peter Brust (it is more like a question and answer recorded session). Even though the FBI has about 200 agents on ciber crimes, I think that more people are needed. But more than that, it is important to talk with family members about being safe on the internet, and to have an open communication with them. This will more likely diminish chances of children or teens being abducted or persuaded to go with a predator.

This page also talks about other concerns with the web (such as cyberbullying), but also provides some hope when stating that most teenagers who are asked for a sexual favor blow off that person and some of them also talks to their parents about it.

Th PBS website growing up online also has pages advising parents on how to deal with their children in this technological world.
