Internet vs Babies


I completely understand with the argue to provide more educational entertainment for kids and shows that have that “nostalgic” feel for young kids, especially with all the bad TV out there and the certain celebrity roles models that kids and teens are confronted with. I know there are many arguments at who should be in charge of regulating what children have access to through the media, but I do not think it’s a good idea to have the Reading Rainbow move to the online programming. I base merely on the fact that if we can barely control what they see on TV how in the world are we supposed to control what see online? There are tons and tons of spam out there, which no parental controls can really block. Also can we talk about the millions of creepers and weirdos on the internet; I don’t what my child anywhere near that. I’d be curious of how the program would work. Many children that view PBS shows are children in daycares, and most daycares don’t have regular internet access, but then again we are talking about today when babies can work an IPhone. I just don’t thinks it’s a good idea. We have enough kid’s shows that do the job. It is just up to the parents/guardians to help monitor what they watch. I personally watched Barney, and those were great years. If you have a thing against purple dinosaurs, then I’d recommend some Disney movies or Disney Junior. If you don’t like that then we got some problems. As for the Internet I can’t begin to guess where it’s going from here. I bet my bottom dollar that there will be more advertising and spam. Plus eventually we’ll have a lot of died people on Facebook. I aspect more cat videos and more copyright laws, as for that I have no idea.
