And you are right about Ma being indomitable too!

Margaret I so agree with you! But very un PC!

Political correctness has a lot to answer for.

You've it the nail on the ead, that symptom was unheard of when I was a kid, if you didn't do as your told you got a clip, to remind you of your ways.
Its worked for millions of years in all animal species on this planet, just watch a wild life documentary and the animal kingdom soon disciplines errant cubs wi a swipe.

never heard that quote before, but it sort of says it all,and I may start using it myself, also it is said in dialect so wont be understood outside the region

Margaret Pilkington · 11-03-2012, 19:59

It is mind altering - it publicises their devious shenanigans so people become aware of their greed and corruption - no wonder 'they' try to deter you from using it.

OK Margaret

Why do they want to deter us from using the Internet? Have you proof?

OK the internet does give us instant access to data and information but does it change the way we think in a positive way? I am not sure it does - because people are still in their closed little worlds.

I would ask you now be honest - how long are you on the Internet for in one go?

On many occasions I have been on it constantly for hours - you look up and suddenly 2 - 3 hours have gone. Time flys when you are using the internet!

But the issue is that it's the damage done to young kids minds, these days kids at 3 and 4 years old are learning how to use technology - it's their brains that are being changed by it!

MargaretR · 13-03-2012, 12:38

The internet is good or bad according to how it is used.
I use it to broaden my knowledge and to internet shop to maintain my independant living.

Those who use it for porn and twittering are wasting the opportunity for gaining knowledge. Although social networking proved useful for the arab spring revolutionaries.

I do spend a large amount of time webbrowsing but I am incapable of going out much.
The web is a better form of amusement and learning than the controlled info to be seen on TV. Subliminal messaging is on TV - any advertising man knows that!

You asked Mags, now I'll ask you,

Have you any proof?

A 3 or 4 year old able to search the web?

Most of them only just have the motor skills to spin in a circle on one foot, nevermind use a keyboard!

I do I've experienced a 4 year old on an iPad browsing then going on a game

Then his parents should be more discriminating about his activities.
