Facebook kids

WHEN your young children are on Facebook, you are happy as well as worried. Happy, because they are using the latest techniques of communication, and worried because you do not know, who they are chatting with, and what they are sharing with public. Some are worried their "idiot" son may update his status, "My dad left for Switzerland to open a new account for his black money."

US President Barack Obama, who leaned heavily on social media and networking sites for his campaigning in 2008, has banned his daughters from using Facebook. It doesn’t make much sense to him to put the most private details of his family in public view. For a couple of years, Obama’s children will have to make do with their science and math’s books. Though Obama can hire the services of Kapil Sibal to censor what Obama’s little daughters write on the social networking sites.

It is important to distinguish what to upload on networking sites. Sometimes, kids may upload photographs of newly renovated house just to show off. You may later realise that they had made the job easy for the thieves of the area.

A little kid said, "I am not going to school today, as my teacher has high fever." The mother said, ‘How do you know?’ The kid replied, "I am on her Facebook friends’ list under a fake name."
