Growing up online

I just finished watching the PBS special growing up online, I just didn't think that social networking and being online was as big as it is. I guess I am just an old fashion person. I guess that I am naive to think that families spend time together, so there would not be a chance for kids to spend so much time online. It was scary to listen to some of the comments the kids were making about being online. They said that there was no one watching, you could reinvent yourself. The scariest comment to me was when the young man said that he had never read books, or he couldn't remember the last time he read a book. I cannot imagine not reading books, or not having my son read books. The internet is a great and wonderful place, but like everything else good, it must be used in moderation. I like human to human interaction, and get stand spending too much time online; there is just too much life to live, live enjoying the great outdoors. The internet scares me because you don't know who is out there and who is watching.
