The problem starts when parents let their kids go on the internet unchecked, and all they do is go online and watch TV. I think limiting the amount of time they're on is a way to keep that degradation in check. Once again, people blaming all these outside sources when it's their own fault.

Even when the weather is good, I see no one outside...and we live in a safe neighborhood.
Everybody is help captive by their sell phones and other electronic devices. It's sad.
Parents should spend unorganized time with their kids, even if it is only a hour a day. M-F. It's the difference between having a socially adept kid and one who's looking for a father-figure or a mother-figure..these are the kids who are found by the perverts and where are the pervets hiding but on the web under a 1000 alias's.]]>Feb 24th 2009 9:41PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/02/24/is-facebook-destroying-childrens-brains/http://www.switched.com/2009/02/24/is-facebook-destroying-childrens-brains/
At the same token, I'm twenty years old and go to college. And as little as I do talk to my parents I would NEVER tell tehm that if they wish to see a picture of me "get online". What the hell happened to my generation? I look at my parents and feel envious of them, and of my grandparents. My parents had the eighties/nineties: generation X. My grandparents had VietNam and the free love era/hippies. What dos my generation have? Cheap entertainment (not even thrilling) with nothing to identify ourselves by, no espirit de corps, no pride, nothing. We have technology.

Just waned to put that out there. Makes me said that all of you older folks who've done so much for us.]]>Feb 25th 2009 12:51AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/02/24/is-facebook-destroying-childrens-brains/http://www.switched.com/2009/02/24/is-facebook-destroying-childrens-brains/Feb 25th 2009 6:39PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/02/24/is-facebook-destroying-childrens-brains/http://www.switched.com/2009/02/24/is-facebook-destroying-childrens-brains/Feb 24th 2009 10:01PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/02/24/is-facebook-destroying-childrens-brains/http://www.switched.com/2009/02/24/is-facebook-destroying-childrens-brains/Only thing I can say is limit the computer/video time and watch what they are doing while on because those who want to do harm
look for kids online and will get all the information they want to find a way to do harm to them.
I love this modern world we live in because I can stay connected to old classmates and family and see tons of pictures and find all the information I need. It's up to us as parents to teach our children how not to be rude and be able to socialize with others and have limitations because to be honest there is nothing like face to face interaction.]]>Feb 27th 2009 10:03AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/02/24/is-facebook-destroying-childrens-brains/http://www.switched.com/2009/02/24/is-facebook-destroying-childrens-brains/
It's not the internet, it's the bad parenting. Geeze, it's not that hard to figure out what the x is in 2 + x = 4]]>Feb 24th 2009 10:22PM
