TFS Rebooted

[PaulP]

Agree, Prof.  A friend of mine is a school teacher and allows Facebook access for their 9 year old - a lot harder to control than when we were growing up and all our parents had to do was limit TV time and say no to buying yo-yos, and figurines and comics.

Kids who are troublemakers will always find it, even in my day. I was hardly troublesome, but I would go out for the entire day with mates and my parents would have no idea where I was and had no way of contacting me. All sorts of awful things could happen in such circumstances.

In some ways the mobile phone, social media era is safer, but certainly as you imply, you need to be a certain age to understand the technology and understand how to stay out of trouble.
