Tech It Like A Man!

Take a look at the list of battery recalls and make sure your laptop isn’t one that is hit. There are a good number of batteries being recalled, so don’t think that you are exempt just because you have a good computer!

The message is loud and clear. The courts will not hold Myspace accountable for the actions of individual parties that use the site. I have to say that I am not surprised. How can Myspace make sure that child molesters are not frequenting the lines? How can Myspace reach out from the Internet to make sure that kids and pedophiles don’t end up meeting each other? It’s not their responsibility. As I said before, it’s the responsibility of the parents to make sure their kids aren’t ending up in these predicaments. I can’t stress educating your children about the dangers of social networking and meeting in person enough!

New York is looking to ban the use of Ipods when walking across a street. I think they should extend that to chewing gum, drinking lattes, and anything else that would hinder a person from successfully and quickly crossing busy roads. They say it’s for the safety of pedestrians and motorists alike. This ban would include video games, Blackberries, and any similar devices. I can hear the outcry in the streets already.

In light of the recent lawsuits and criticism, Myspace has decided to help get the predators under control. I think they are doing something right this time. It is better for them to be proactive than to wait for more lawsuits to bite them in their virtual rear. There are so many issues that stem from social networking, but it still comes down to educating the teens who use them. There are a number of teens who use Myspace and never come to harm because they are using what they have learned about being safe on the Net as a basis for all interactions. I hope that Myspace can find solutions through this new platform soon.

Myspace is finally being sued over safety issues. It has been a long time coming. Everyone has been buzzing over the issue of safety over social networks of late. Five teenage girls who claim sexual assault via men they met over the social network are in the process of claiming their due.

It’s only a matter of time before more teens come out with suits against Myspace. The problem isn’t Myspace, it’s the kids who are on it. If their parents and teachers would make them understand the consequences of meeting strangers in person that they met online in unsupervised circumstances, then the problem wouldn’t be so persistent.
