Excellent tool provided...................

We have at one time or the other heard of sad stories of people, especially young folks who have been preyed upon just because some infidels got access to them or their personal information over the web. In some of the stories this have proved fatal.

I just want to say that the web is a good tool however it can be dangerously regrettable to just let our kids or even anybody loose on them without any check.

It's just like anythiing we use without control or limitations. Atomic energy can be harnessed for use in weapons of "mass destruction" and "mass construction". It depends on how the brain of the individual in question is functioning at that point in time.

My point is that the web is good because it gives us an easy and very economic way of getting information and solving life's difficult problems, however if not properly handled it can also complicate matters and make life more unbearable compared to the experiences we had in the past before the advent of computer technology.
