* Instead of the parents searching the Net, why not equip the children to do it themselves? My 13-year-old daughter understands Facebook better than I do, and I'm proud of that. * Is knowledge on the Net somehow inferior to "real world" knowledge? Is it an either-or situation? What if they combined the real-world knowledge WITH what exists on the Net? * The biggest challenge before small societies like ours, as I see is, is: will we simply become CONSUMERS of information, or will we have a chance to become PRODUCERS too? Depending on the answer to this lies the future of our kids' generation!
