James Brown’s Technology Blog

Ok here goes my first blog post…..

Well not to much to talk about yet,  but time will allow me to get into writing more blogs.

Here is the wiki definition of myspace:

Ok here is my thoughts on the myspace.com:

My wife loves myspace.  I would say that she spends at least 1-2 hours on myspace a day.   Me on the other hand would rather just design a website and put all  the same information in to that website.  That is just me.

The new problem is, all these sexual predators that are on myspace. If I remember right from the evening new last night that myspace has removed 1000 sexual predator from their website so far.   That make me kind of scared. I’m not looking forward to my kids following in my footsteps of technology.

On that subject,  your kids are not protected from these things.  You need to keep track of their internet habits.  Online chats and IM’s are a really big social tools today. Myspace and blogging like I’m doing now, can leave an open door to people that can hurt or mistreat your kids.

What you should do:

    Keep the computer in a room that the family is always in.
            (Not the kid’s room)

    Ask questions (this is always a great idea)

    Do not put any private information out there (age,
             address, phone, SSN#, etc.)

Remember that you the parents are the first line of defense for your children.
