If I Ever..

If I ever bring a child or two into this world, holy moly, am I scared for them. I like kids, but it's sorta scary to think they'd be growing up in a world where you can get access to anything at any point. With 8 year olds texting each other to internet access, it's just a little rattling. I know as a kid, after I got a virus on the computer, that exploring the internet was not always smart, but I learned my way around the places I liked. Keep in mind I was in middle school so I wasn't like 10 or under. My brother on the other hand was more prone to finding toxic things considering he got a looser chain than I did. I mean I was much older until I came upon things that were burned into my brain and made me question humanity. The ratio of bad things to good is probably like 20:1 if not higher. I know you can restrict kids, but there are parents that don't. Their kids talk to your kids at school and tell them all about it. Sometimes they tell them how to get around it. Not to mention kids are way smarter than we give them credit for and discover things at a quick rate due to natural curiosity. Or at least, that's how I remember learning html and graphics editing/manipulation. Texting is the other scary thing. I mean geez sexting is like huge nowadays. Wow. I just realized I'm freaking out about the safety of my children that don't even exist yet and probably won't for another seven plus years. Okay then..I guess I should pick up on this topic in another seven plus years after technology has changed like crazy again.
