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.
