Controlling Children Using Computer

Computer and internet are useful as well as powerful. Information about health and safe
usage of computer and Internet, especially for children, should be owned by each family.
Computer connected to internet is powerful way to socialize with others. It can be good but also
bad effect. Recently we hear a lot of children get the advantage of social networking sites but we
often see the news about the disadvantage of it for children. Healthy and safety of computer and
Internet usage should continue to be campaigned.
The role of parent in assisting and directing children in using computer is very necessary.
Installation of software monitor such as key logger which has function to watch and note all
activities relating to keyboard usage is helpful but not enough to protect children from potential
harms. Children tend to hide what they have done in front of the computer to their parent. They
see that all of they have done are their privacy and no one may know.
We cannot prevent children from using computer because it is multifunctional. However,
many parents worry about what their kids do in front of the computer; whether they are doing
homework or even just playing games. Or spending all time to surf internet which is the
materials do not fit with his age. There is a tendency, especially teenagers, want to become
acquainted with many strangers outside. The lack parental supervision of children's activities is
likely to pose a potential danger to them. So parental monitor against the use of computers needs
to be done from time to time.
