A less prurient article on youngsters use of online services appeared in The New York Times today. Titled "In Cyberspace, and Talking to Strangers", by Felicity Barringer. Barringer states: "... there are precious few people who have been parents in the computer age. In matters electronic, the children rule." After recounting concern for her son's safety during a few mildly racy incidents online, she concludes that he will learn to cope with whatever comes up. And that after giving him "his electronic safety pointers, it's time to let him go".
