In favor or against the Internet

Dear friend, you asked me to say if I'm in favor or against  the Internet. 

Of course there are so many reasons to be in favor. But there are also many reasons to be against. 

So, in this letter I'll first  tell you why I'm against the Internet and afterwards I'll write down the reasons I see to be in favor of the Internet, which are may be even more.

Reasons against the Internet:  Last week my youngest daughter made a payment on her poste pay credit card; she needed  to make some shoppings on line. When she tried to use her credit card she discovered with so much sorrow that someone had stolen her money. Furthermore I'm an old fashoned man and,  depending on me, men were still living in the caves, hunting for eating and warming themselves at the fire in the summer nightime, listening the old stories from some story teller. Staying connected all day,  men have lost the pleasure to look each others into their eyes and millions of people have lost their job because of the Internet. 

And what about the fact that on the Internet each stupid has the opportunity to show how much silly he is?

As matter of fact I distrust any thing which is new and I always regret the old times gone.

Reasons in favor of the Internet: As I told you before the reasons to be in favor of the Internet are much more than the others to be against.

First of all I want to remind my first years as a lawyer. I used to spend a lot of time digiting at my old  typewriting machine. And if I made a mistake I had to start again from the beginning. And if the judicial act was at its deadline in the next day, I was compelled to work until morning in order to be able to protocol the act in the right time.

Now, thanks to Internet, when you start a new job, pasting and removing you can make the point quite easily.

Eventually, now, you can even deposit your act stayng at home.

Secondly i want to point out the facilities to be informed at any time thanks to the news travelling in real time on the Web.

Furtherly more if you have a friend or a relative far way you can talk with him/her quite easily even seeing her/him on skype or through any other webcam, thanks to your PC.

Last but not least, if yoiu digit anything on your keyboard the Internet is able to give you an immediate answer.

Please let me know what you think about this fascinating debate.

How to Snoop on Your Kid While He’s Online

As kids approach adolescence, their need for privacy and insistence upon keeping parts of their life away from the prying eyes of a parent can make it difficult to monitor their activity. With the advent of smartphones that allow your child to carry the Internet around with him in his pocket, the need to make sure that he’s not getting into online trouble can feel even greater. While it’s usually more effective to attempt an open dialogue about what is and is not considered appropriate online behavior before resorting to spy-level surveillance, there may be times when snooping feels like the only choice.

Monitoring Software

Even less than tech-savvy parents can learn to navigate parental monitoring software, which is designed to run in the background and be undetectable by users. There are several varieties of monitoring programs, all with different features and levels of functionality. One thing that they all have in common is an ability to reveal all the things your child is doing online when you’re not there to look over his shoulder.

Limit Computer Use to Common Areas

If you’ve opted not to give your child a web-capable smartphone or a laptop, then you may find it easier to snoop while he’s online if the main computer is located in a high-traffic area of your home. When your child knows that a simple glance his way could reveal questionable web content he’s viewing, he’s more likely to think twice about what he looks up. Not only will you be able to keep an eye on what your child is looking at, but you’ll also be able to influence him into making better choices based solely on your nearby presence.

Check Your Browser History

Older kids with more advanced computer knowledge may be savvy enough to delete their browser history, but younger kids and tweens may not yet have the required know-how. After your child uses the computer, take a moment to scroll through the browser history. You’ll be able to access all of the pages your child has recently viewed, allowing you to get a good idea of what areas need to be addressed most.

Fake Social Networking Profiles

If your children haven’t deleted you from their Facebook friends list yet, there’s a strong possibility that they’ve learned to manipulate the safety and security settings so that they can block what you’re able to see. One way to make sure that you’re seeing everything posted on your child’s timeline and every interaction he has is to sign up for your own fake profile and use it to add your child. Unless he’s naturally suspicious of strangers, he probably won’t block the visibility of his posts to a new friend.

Keystroke Recording Software

Every email, every message and every web search can be recalled with a keystroke recorder, along with your child’s passwords. If you have a serious reason to believe that something is wrong and you’ll need to be able to confront your child with concrete evidence to make a difference, keystroke software may be the way to go. Be warned, however, that a child who’s not actually involved in questionable activities will almost certainly feel that she has no privacy or grounds for trusting her parents. In the event of an emergency, these programs can be quite valuable tools for parents.

Webcam Monitoring

There are ways to remotely view everything the webcam in your child’s computer sees, but it’s wise to think long and hard before resorting to such things. No invasion of privacy is as personal or as upsetting as being actively watched when you’re not aware of it. Furthermore, there are some sights a parent just doesn’t need to see.

Smartphone Apps

Do you want to track your child’s movements with an online GPS service connected to his phone or block content he’s able to view with the device? There are a slew of kid-monitoring apps available for smartphones that can help you keep tabs on your child when he’s away from home.

These methods will help you track and monitor what your kids are doing online, but there is no app or program to replace the trust that is almost certain to be lost when your child discovers the depth of your investigation. Before resorting to underhanded means of finding out what your youngster is up to, you may want to attempt having an open, judgment-free conversation about boundaries,

 appropriate behavior and the implications of being careless on the Internet.

30 Blogs for Creating a Safe Sleep Environment

New parents like to think of their baby’s nursery as her safe haven, and that her sleep will always be peaceful and free from danger. This is, however, not always the case. While sleeping might seem like a risk-free activity for a baby, the truth is that there are some factors that parents and caregivers must take into consideration in order to protect the safety and well-being of the precious little one in their care.
The internet is home to what seems like an endless stream of blogs, many of which are dedicated solely to parenting and childcare topics. These blogs can be a treasure trove of valuable information on sleep safety; here are 30 that feature sleep safety and related posts very prominently.
Crib Safety
During the first few months of her life, your baby will spend a significant portion of her time sleeping in her crib. Because this small space makes up so much of her world during this period, it’s important that you educate yourself as thoroughly as possible on how to keep it safe and secure for her.

SIDS
Few things are as terrifying to a parent as the idea of SIDS, or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. While the exact cause of SIDS is still unknown, the number of unexplained infant deaths has dropped considerably since 1992, when the American Academy of Pediatrics released findings that babies who sleep on their backs tend to be at a lower risk than infants who regularly sleep on their stomachs.

5. Preventing SIDS Requires More Than Putting Them Back-to-Sleep

Pacifier Use
For such a small piece of rubber and plastic, pacifiers sure have been known to drum up a lot of controversy. Parents and caregivers who find the devices to be valuable comfort objects sing their praises, while others swear that they affect the formation of a baby’s mouth and increase her risk of needing expensive orthodontia as she gets older. Recently, however, studies linking pacifier use to safer sleep and a reduced risk of SIDS have brought the binky back to the forefront of parenting debates.

Nursery Safety
The safety of your little one’s nursery can affect not only how safe she is when she sleeps, but also how safe she’ll be as she gets older and spends more alert time in her room. Creating a secure environment for your new baby to grow and learn is a popular topic for bloggers; these posts cover the spectrum of opinion and personal experiences.

Sleep Routine
Establishing a safe sleeping routine for your baby requires that you make sure that how and where she sleeps are both in accordance with safety guidelines, regardless of what time it is or how much sleep you’ve missed out on.

Bedding and Bumpers
Despite the American Academy of Pediatrics’ strong stance on soft bedding, plush toys, and crib bumpers, some parents insist on using these items for their baby’s comfort. Crib bumpers, in particular, have been banned by the city of Chicago, but are fiercely defended by parents who feel that they protect a baby’s head from injury.

While the web can be a vast sea of useful and accurate information, no blog post replaces the professional opinion of your pediatrician or family doctor. Be sure to consult with a healthcare provider before making any changes to your child’s routine in order to ensure that all advice you’ve received is accurate and medically sound.

Warning Pornography

Parents must take more care of their children, specially when they are on line.

As matter of fact, according to a study made in Grat Britain, a third of children, get porno's pictureson line before they are 10.

And 8 children out of 10, aged between 14 and 16, download from porno sites at their home PC, while two thirds of them get porno's photografs on their mobile's telephone.

"A serious warning"- say the psicologist Michael Flood- " also because porno's sites on line, don't give a correct idea what sex really is, and lesser they give an education on relation and love affair, giving instead a totaslly wrong and disturbing idea on young generation about sex, such to mischif and mislead young people. Furthermore pornography is more addictive than drugs and alcohol."

Parents must provide their home PC with proper access's filter in order to prevent download from porno's sites by their children, while the school and other education's agencies must provid a correct information on the delicate matter.


Read more on DM on line by Andrew Levy A THIRD of children have seen online porn by the time they are 10, shocking study reveals By Andrew Levy A third of children have accessed online pornography by the time they are ten years old, a disturbing survey has revealed. And more than eight in ten children aged 14 to 16 say they regularly access hardcore photographs and footage on their home computers, while two-thirds watch it on their mobile phones. Yet 70 per cent admit they have never been physically intimate with someone - meaning their first experience of sex is watching often violent scenes online. Parents appear to be unaware of the risk to their children as three-quarters of the children surveyed confirmed their families had never discussed online porn with them. In many cases, parents are simply unable to keep up with their computer-literate kids and have no idea how to install parental internet controls or to stop their children getting around them. Experts warned the flood of extreme sexual imagery was creating a time bomb for young people who would have problems with romantic relationships when they were older and were more likely to commit rape. Leading sociologist Michael Flood told Psychologies magazine, which interviewed hundreds of secondary school pupils for the survey: 'There is compelling evidence that pornography has negative effects on individuals and communities. 'Porn shows sex in unrealistic ways and fails to address intimacy, love, connection or romance. It doesn't mean every young person is going out to rape somebody but it increases the likelihood.' Sex addiction therapist John Woods warned watching porn was more addictive than drugs or alcohol. He told a Sunday newspaper: 'The pendulum has swing too far. We are allowing abusive sexual imagery to be accessed by children. 'We need regulation but that needs people to say enough is enough and demand change.' The NSPCC said it was 'really concerned' about the growing problem. Spokesman Lucy Thorpe said: 'For girls and boys, porn presents an extreme sexuality that puts pressure on them to behave in a certain way and view each other in a negative light.' Justine Roberts, of online parents' group Mumsnet, added: 'We are going to produce a generation with a terrifying idea of what sex is about.' Psychologies recommended a range of measures to stop children watching online porn. They included downloading sex filters - which are often available from internet service providers - onto home computers and checking your child's school has an 'e-safety' policy.
