Re: How Would You Control Your (Hypothetical) Children's Internet Use?

[(Anonymous)]

Not planning on having kids myself, but the idea I'd go with is just teach them the basic safety rules of the internet and make sure they understand that they should ask before giving out personal information or signing up for sites. Set up their computer for them and put safe sites (like Wikipedia, Neopets, etc...) in their bookmarks, and if you're concerned about them hitting shock-value sites, figure out the parental controls and blacklist the ones you know (like lemonparty.org, though I imagine others will have sprung up by then). I'd probably keep the computer in the living room until they hit about 13 or so, especially if you're not completely against your kid exploring their own sexuality at that age.

I think the only thing I wouldn't do that seems to be popular nowadays is get a young kid a smartphone. I didn't get a higher-end cell phone until I was 16 and driving; before then, I had a Motorola brick that was used for emergencies. I still don't have a smartphone, and I don't think it's necessary. A simple phone that can call and send text messages is plenty. IMO, if a kid wants a phone better than that, they can get a job to pay for it. Otherwise they're stuck with whatever I see fit to give them.

The thing about smartphones is that, not counting the data plan, they are SUPER CHEAP with the right phone plan. I got an iphone 3 just as the 5 came out, and it cost one cent (and 40 dollar activation fee, but even kids as young as seven can save that up.) Plus, I think they'll probably be the standard within a few years.
