We can shelter children from the internet and protect them from the cyber world. However, with the growing dependence upon technology, the cyber world is going to play a significant role of their future whether we like it or not. We do not stop children from becoming apart of the real world, we do not excluded them from society until they come of age but rather we allow them, under supervision and guidance to discover this real world with us. Obviously we have a duty to keep them out of the bars and night clubs and shelter them from the inappropriate establishments. But we instill values, we teach them appropriate behavior and warn them of dangers because one day they will be left to exist in this real world without us. Left to survive and make these choices on their own, our hope is that we have taught them well and they become good, active members of society. Why should our approach to this cyber world be any different. Have measures in place to protect them from inappropriate content, teach them how to behave and in time, trust them to do the right thing.
