Kids would die without the web

 





The idea that kids need to be forced to leave the house, go outside, and do some sort of physical activity is nothing new. However, after a recent report it may be more important now than ever.

A survey of 16 to 24 year olds has found that 75% of them feel they "couldn't live" without the internet. [...] About one third added that they felt no need to talk to a person face-to-face about their problems because of the resources available online.

Think that's bad? When the group of kiddos was asked about Internet security and phishing, 76% of them thought the internet was a safe place "as long as you know what you're doing." Yeah, we haven't heard that before.

Now please excuse us as we go unplug our siblings' 360s and take them bowling. And no, not on the Wii.

Do you agree? Tell us your opinions.

    Bowling? They need to be dropped somewhere in the remote canyonlands or sierra alpine tundra and learn how to carry all their gear and not die for a month at least.  Any kid that can afford a high end computer can afford an outward bound or NOLS course.

It makes me appear that I am not knowledgable enough in the subject I am discussing to be able to translate it for people outside the field to understand. Some advice you might consider as well)
