Parental Control Software

          Parental control is so important since the internet has become such a large part or our culture. Parental control is sort of a new concept in the terms of t.v. used to never need to be controlled by parents but was controlled by the t.v. provider. Parental control software enables parents to watch and block what their children do on the computer. This is important because kids can not roam free on the internet. This would be like bringing a child to a water park and just letting them go and saying okay see you when the park closes. It is not okay for a parent to let their child roam free on the internet. As a child I was against this but as I grew up and understood what was on the internet it all made sense. Children do not know any better and need to be monitored.

          There are many softwares such as norton, web watcher,net nanny, DNS, Microsoft and many more. All of these programs allow parents to keep and eye on what children do on the internet. This is so important that parents realize their kids can not just have a computer to do what they please on it. It is not only important because they will learn things they shouldn't know at that age but there is an issue with multi media that is being sent, such as photographs that should have ever been taken and private information that kids don't understand is private. Kids need to slowly get privileges such as the computer. It is important that parents understand why they need to monitor their kids. There are so many programs that there is no excuse why parents shouldn't enforce/ use the products out there. I am not talking about kids 15-18 but kids more or less 14 and under. They think they know it all and they don't they are children and need to be protected.
