Issues Raised on the PBS Presenation

 Facebook? Twitter?, and for those who really want to take it back a bit old school, MySpace? If any of these either sound familiar or are apart of your daily vocabulary, you're not alone. Almost more then a majority of the population, mainly the teenage population are on these social sites. The web , with social sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, etc. have taken the lives of teenagers today and transformed their reality into a virtual reality.These sites have not only become a pastime, but it has become, life, literally. Children today are making the worldwide web their virtual playground and hangout, all their thoughts, actions and opinions are being flooded across the internet. The problem? while teenagers are living their "virtual lives" out, parents are unsuspecting to their kids "other" world, ultimately unaware of who, what, when, where and why their children are posting crucial information and facets of their personal lives.The question is, will the children of today make great use of the advancements of the internet to its full capacity OR will it continue to be an unsafe haven , bringing potential danger to our kids? To what degree do parents draw the line of monitoring their kids on the web? Should parents even allow their kids to be on such sites without appropriate use? You be the judge!
