As i walked into tonight 09/05/2017 my mind was all over the place as i was uncertain to what would be discussed in class, as I had missed the previous weeks class. I was however informed that we would be doing practicals.......my greatest fear was that I had missed a lot and the lecturer simply move on without even revising work from from the previous week but this was not the class as the session progressed everyone was hands and enjoying what was being introduced to us 😍.. Very Insightful and useful tools which we got introduced to..Thanks Ms Shehaamah
Have you ever asked yourself why has this phenomenon called Internet Filtering introduced? This software was designed to restrict or control the content a reader is authorized to access. Which means its utilized to restrict material delivered over the internet via the web,e-mail. In this day and age as parent we really propelled to monitor what are kids are exposed to, hence I believe internet filtering is a excellent way to protecting our future generation from most....by most I mean not everything that they exposed to can be filtered hence we must be aware some things that they become exposed to we cant control.
A recent study by the Oxford Internet Institute revealed that of the 515 (12-15 year old children) interviewed , 14% had a negative online experience, 8% had been contacted by strangers and almost 4% had seen someone who pretended to be them online. Very shocking indeed more reason why parent need to know what their children are up to whenever they spend sometime on the web.
Last night session has really left me thinking and wondering if its for the best or we just depriving our children from things that we think might deter with their morals, as we not around to monitor our kids doings twenty four seven. Until next time Lumka Andries ...............
I agree that censorship is important, but where do we draw the line?
ReplyDeleteFiltering is necessary, but so is a policy as well.
