A study by the London School of Ecnomics shows that parents who are not Net savvy could be reducing their children’s opportunities to find jobs and diminishing their education. Aside from the fact that I don’t understand why the School of Economics would do such a study :), I agree with their findings.

Nearly 20 percent of the parents surveyed admitted to not knowing enough about how to use the Internet safely. Sounds like they didn’t know how to use it efficiently either. The growing rift between the children who have Internet access and those who don’t is compounded by those that know how to use it and those who don’t.

So what’s the moral of this story? Bookmark Family WebWatch!
