Essay 2 prewrite. 9-20-09
i as i was searching through the prompts i have choices on writing, and i decided to choose the second one which is the choice of having parents monitor their childrens internet activity. i thought it would be good to say that the parents shouldnt go on to their child’s facebook or myspace, but get their own so they can check up on them and the child can have their own freedom and not have their parents monitoring ruin their high school life or their college life. they may be aloud to attempt to help them by telling what they can and cant do online, but most people in this computer age know who they can trust and they cant. i’m sure that if i a parent absoultely needed to know something they could just talk to their child and not just search the computer first and ask questions later. they should just come out and ask for what they have been doing. it should make the privacy seem more apparent and keep the parent informed. they could arrange a certain time where the parent talks with their child so they know what their child has been up too. and its still less creeping then bugging the child over the internet.
