Thank you for doing this episode. WOW it was still eye opening and put into words of the because part. I’m on the fence on this because I feel its good on one hand, but the another its not.

Hmm...doesn't look like anyone is adding their view on this. I didn't look at what this has to say. I pretty much know what it is probably about.

Each generation faces different challenges. It's how we accept them and deal with them that either makes us successful or a failure at them. As far as online things, there are advantages and disadvantages. If you have children then you want to monitor what they are doing and warn them of the possible dangers they may encounter. As a parent, knowing what you child is doing and keeping them safe is your job. Being informed about things is half the battle. Can it be safe to be online...of course if you take the necessary precautions. You can't be afraid to grow and explore...or you will be stunted.
