We have at one time or the other heard of sad stories of people,
especially young folks who have been preyed upon just because some
infidels got access to them or their personal information over the
web. In some of the stories this have proved fatal.
I just want
to say that the web is a good tool however it can be dangerously
regrettable to just let our kids or even anybody loose on them without
any check.
It's just like anythiing we use without control or
limitations. Atomic energy can be harnessed for use in weapons
of "mass destruction" and "mass construction". It depends on how the
brain of the individual in question is functioning at that point in
time.
My point is that the web is good because it gives us an
easy and very economic way of getting information and solving life's
difficult problems, however if not properly handled it can also
complicate matters and make life more unbearable compared to the
experiences we had in the past before the advent of computer
technology.
