With the holidays rapidly approaching now is a good time to load up on your safeguards for watching your children's online activities. More time at home, more time on the computer, and more time on social media sites leads to the possibility for incidents to occur that affect our children.
IROC2.org's message brings being digitally responsible to the 21st Century. Should we not put warning labels on digital devices such as we do when you purchase a toy, buy alcohol or tobacco products? Ever notice the plastic bag that comes wrapped around your recently shipped item. Keep away from children and pets suffocation is possible.
All these warnings are placed on these products to inform you of the risks associated with irresponsible use of the item(s) and to mitigate the manufacturer's liability, as well as to communicate safe use and proper disposal of the product purchased.
Should we not have warning labels attached to digital devices that can change or alter our life or the lives of our children and loved ones in 1 split second in time? IROC2.org is proactive in its mission to teach 21st Century Digital Responsibility to adults and children and through its Office of the Cyber Safety General adhere to the warnings that children will make decisions through technology and their digital devices that can change their lives forever.
On December 10, 2009 IROC2.org presents to a well respected Congresswoman in Washington, DC the first Petition to warn consumers and society that there is a big risk with the use of digital devices. Please help IROC2.org and KidsBeSafeOnline to bring awareness of these digital issues and sign the Petition today!
The Five Dangerous Trends Concerning Kids, Technology and the Internet provides parents and adults with a Plan of Action and how to execute that plan to be proactive with their children and technology. What a great holiday gift especially if you know a youth receiving a computer or digital device this holiday season.
