Internet: Maybe WE are the evil or good ones

Thanks to internet we have access to a limitless knowledge and today you can search, find and learn almost anything just in seconds. But what about the things that we dont want to know?

It is more than known that internet has given us access to worldwide culture and it has included opinions or experiences about all ages people no matter if you are prepared or not to see, hear or read about it.

My eight year old niece loves to see horror movies at her tablet and i was really worried about it until i saw her react against the violence and bullying suffered by her little friend and herself at school. I know that she has access to see extreme savagery online but, despite that, she could recognize violence and she knew clearly that it was wrong.

On the other side, my thirteen year old niece has been very restricted about how she uses internet and social networks in general and now that she has had more access to them she has started to feel confusion about all this new world and how life works in it.

In both cases the technology and access to internet is present but can we say if it is good or evil for them? I think that, as every invention, you can use them for make the good or bad thing and the choise will always be ours.


Psychologically speaking, the kids of 7-8 years old have already formed criteria so the influence of internet and the decisions that a 12-15 year old kid takes could be just a reflection of how she or he was parented, how strong and stable their values were defined or maybe it is just all about us being good or bad family, friends or humans.
