The dangers of the internet

Today's youth has the priveledge to use a computer whenever they want, get on the internet not just from a computer but from a phone, and bascially figure out to look at different things through different loop holes. This doesn't mean this is a good thing. I mean don't get my wrong technology is great, especially when helps children look up school information and just want to play games. However there are still some evils in having all this free access. There are so many evil people out there who can trick little kids into thinking that they are chatting or playing with other children. Also there are many different sites that have explicit pictures, that children of frankly anyone should see. The Internet, yes is a great tool of techonolgoy but probably one of the unsafest and we as not only humans but Christians need to help protect our children from it.

In the Bible it says in Ephesians 5:3-4, "But sexual immorality and all impurity or coventousness must not even be named amoung you, as is proper among saints. Let there be no filthiness nore foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving."

This is great verse to look at because and apply to each and everyone of our lives. We do not need to fill our minds and children minds with nasty, impure visions. We should teach our children that it is impure and wrong to look at demographic things, but most of all teach them to be cautious of what they are looking at and just remember if what they are looking at is appropriate to show God.

As for those who dont believe in God still need to teach there children the dangers of the internet. I believe when they teach children using technology or having them using technology they need to know the pre-cautions they should take, but also remember that the internet is a fun exciting piece of technology.
