Comments on: 5 Reasons to Monitor Your Child’s Computer Activity http://www.computerclue.com/blog/5-reasons-to-monitor-your-childs-computer-activity/ My name is Tomasz Banas. I’m neither a geek nor a nerd; I’m just a certified computer professional that loves technology. I offer computer repairs and training services to New Jersey residents in their homes and remotely throughout the country. I will try to keep this blog alive and add fresh, interesting posts. I’m sure that with your help I will not have any problems doing so.

The internet seems to be growing more each day and new 'inventions' are introduced more than ever. Take for instance myspace, facebook, and twitter, to name a few...Today's kids want to follow each latest trend and sign up for everything. Once they do that, which is a very easy process, they spend countless hours online sharing every bit of information about themselves, from pictures, to phone numbers, and much more. Here alone the predators have an open field to play. As far as the online content...YES it is questionable. But that goes towards everything because as a college student I lost the count of how many times my professors have lectured the students in my classes about not citing inacurate information from questionable sources, such as Wikipedia. It has gotten to the point where most professors do not allow internet references. Online shopping seems to have evolved so much that I can imagine children clicking a few too many 'submit' buttons and causing some major trouble. Of course not all sites are as easily accessed, kudos to the ones who remain under strict security.
