Kids Sharing More and More Information Online


More reason for parents to be staying on their toes and knowing what your kids are doing online.

Mr. Zuckerberg pinned his optimism on a change in behavior among Internet users: that they are ever more willing to tell others what they are doing, who their friends are, and even what they look like as they crawl home from the fraternity party.

“I would expect that next year, people will share twice as much information as they share this year, and next year, they will be sharing twice as much as they did the year before,” he said. “That means that people are using Facebook, and the applications and the ecosystem, more and more.” (NYT)

If the CEO of Facebook is right, then we need to teach kids what is appropriate to put online and what the risks are.

Have you had “the talk” with your kids yet? Do they let you see what’s on their page? How does it work in your family?
