In a letter to the editor, Owen Audibert, a Bangor Daily News reader from Dedham, expressed his concerns about the negative impact of technology on upbringing, especially in relation to parental understanding of internet safety. As someone who experienced the shift to a technology-driven world, Audibert highlights the importance of parents and adults being educated on technology to better protect children from exposure to inappropriate content online.
Audibert suggests that parents should undergo mandatory internet safety courses in their workplaces to understand basic parental controls and how to prevent children from accessing unsuitable content online. He also emphasizes the need for updated internet safety courses to keep up with the ever-changing state of technology and ensure that teaching standards evolve to meet new challenges.
The letter calls for a significant change in the current education system to better equip parents and adults with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate the complexities of the internet and protect children from potential harm. Audibert argues that efforts need to be made to understand new shifts in technology and ensure that everyone has a better understanding of the internet and its impacts on society.
