As a parent, in this
modern world of digital wireless connectivity bringing up children who appear
to know it all – broadband, hyper thread technology, megabytes ‘n’
Gigahertz, constantly chatting on MSN; do you find yourself asking these questions?
What is MSN?
When are my children on there?
Where do they go on the internet?
Who are they talking to?
What are they talking about?
Should I be worried?
Have you ever thought it’s time you took control of the situation, your family PC and monitored it use. You are the parent after all who needs knows just what your child is doing. You wouldn’t allow you child free access to the top shelf of the local news agent or to make conversation to a known sex offender, yet you’re happy to allow unsupervised access to the web.
But lets not dwell on the situation; most kids know what there doing on the internet and who they are talking to. Many of their buddies on MSN are known to them from school, however it’s not uncommon for others to gain friendship and recommendation to others via contact lists.
MSN is an instant chat program, it’s not e-mail. E-mail is like posting a letter via royal mail only electronically, hence ‘e’-mail. You send it and wait until the person you sent it to turns on their computer reads their email and then replies. MSN works differently, it’s instant. When you log in others (your buddies) who are logged in can see you have logged in and you can see them. They or you can choose to start a conversation and you or they can choose to reply. The text you type is instantly displayed on their computer when you press return and vice versa. The program even tells you when someone is typing and that you about to receive an answer.
