Internet safety is a tool used to filter inappropriate things from getting onto our computers and into our minds. I believe that anything that is set up to block vulgar things is a good thing. I think there are good filters out there that can be used but they should not be the only wall of defense that we have in internet safety. There should be practical uses in the home such as; having the computer in a place where people frequently travel, parents could have time restrictions on when their kids can be on the computer, or having a family discussion about internet safety. Whatever you do, just do not relay on a internet filter to protect your family from bad things on the internet.
Teens are definitely in need of internet safety. As a teacher I could briefly give a lesson about internet safety and make them aware of how to protect themselves. I could give them good programs that are out there that are designed to filter inappropriate websites as well.
I taught my roommate about internet safety. He thought it was a good lesson. I just went over the same things that we went over in class. He liked the idea of not having his birthday on his facebook page.
