My view on Internet safety has changed over the past few weeks. In the past I have assumed that the amount of questionable users far exceeded similar people of character that you may meet walking down the street. I have recently completed another technology course where we had several discussions on the actual amount of online criminals compared to those found on the street. I realized through these discussions and after reading several articles that while I do need to be vigilant about Internet safety, the level of activity is not disproportionate to similar activity happening on the streets each day.
I do feel extremely fortunate that I have not had any encounters with my own personal Internet safety. My seven year old son has started playing some online games, but just like when he is playing outside, I monitor what he is doing and am not far from where he is.
