Lucy in Australia Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I must say I've come to these conclusions myself but always wondering if I was being a bit naive or ignorant. I think if we teach our children honesty & common sense, they are not in too much danger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 I'm half way through watching the TV show that is referenced (loading takes a while here) and that's worth seeing too. It's clear that there are dangers to obsessive internet use, but they are not the ones we usually think of. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ria Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Good article. I agree completely. I think the dangers are way overblown. Ria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzie in Ma Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I just keep thinking to myself, it is a whole different world out there than when I was growing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandra Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 We worry about sudden things...planes crashing, predators but not cummulative dangers like poor health habits etc. It seems that there have been studies on this sort of thing. I think that our brains process threats to our (and our loved one's safety) differently than the long term dangers (like environmental issues).
