Whose-Space???!!!!

By Kick-butt interns | July 21, 2009

BUNCH of experience with the online chatrooms. They could be really fun or extremely creepy, cause as much as you meet cool peoples, yeah there are some weirds ones out there (so weird the whole “are they really the age they say they are” thing comes in). I actually have talked to people claiming to be 14 but are really like 26. And it CREEPS ME OUT! Some girls my age actually like it!!!

Frances: Whose Space? It’s certainly not MYspace. Get it? Because online, the international widely-used internet is everybody’s space. From anonymous emails, to crazy chatrooms to popular social networks like myspace, facebook. The internet has taken over. (hahaa) The very-loved monster has been around for a while It’s a paid type of entertainment (either from comcast, dsl, etc) that allows kids to do practically anything! EBAY, craig’s list, google, myspace, AIM, chatting, shopping online, ordering pizza–woah. Sadly, many incidents have happened D: Meeting a possibly “nice friend online” can be your worst night mare because there are many online sex predators. Have you seen those tv shows where people use different user names like Hottsexiigurl2214 or bootykall101 but in reality they’re middle-aged saggy men? Hard 2 believe but it’s true! BE CAREFUL! Computer nerds have the ability to TRACK YOU DOWN… or as i heard? it’s like those super high-tech programs that searches for your ip address , something like that.. (i watch too much CSI) Remember in the scene in GOING ON 13 where esmeralder’s classmates were in the computer lab for free time? They were in random chatrooms. The scene glanced over the screen, viewing profantity and sxually used messages…MIDDLE SCHOOL! That’s why schools everywhere ban lots of websites. (wake up call..nice.) Awesome Possum!

 

Here’s something Dawn sent the interns… it’s a bit of the Tech Savvy Kids email:

With a little encouragement we can get our young adults out and
> about, even with the rest of the family. The best way to start is
> to have a casual conversation, possibly over dinner, about up
> coming plans. “What has everyone got planned for the summer
> holidays? What would you like to do?” Younger siblings will usually
> start talking first while your teens may just roll their eyes or
> say nothing. If your teen doesn’t respond ask, “Is there a sport or
> art you’d like to try?” Still no positive response, ask everyone,
> “What could we do on rainy/sunny days?” or “How about….?” Keep
> brainstorming different ideas without censoring. When ideas start
> to slow down suggest topics or themes such as historical sites,
> volunteering, music etc. Some of the ideas will be suitable for the
> whole family but others will be individual pursuits. The idea is to
> open up the conversation and plant “idea” seeds in their minds.
This sums up our third week’s theme: Chatrooms/online social networks–WHOSE SPACE?
