Internet Watching Assignment

I watched a couple of the Webcast videos and a couple of the Netsmartz videos and all 6 parts of the Frontline PBS reports. I had a difficult time watching these videos, especially the PBS ones because they were real stories. The stories were very disturbing. But I don't think I've ever fully realized the reality of these things before. It's pretty scary. After watching these videos, there is no way we will ever have a computer in a private space. It will be in a high-traffic area. And I definitely want to teach my children the reality of these things.

I remember chatting online a couple of times when I was younger, but I knew that I should never give out any personal information. Still though, it's possible that I could have left enough clues. That scares me. I'm glad I never really got into it.

I watched 60 minutes total.
