Assignment 13

Today's world is a dangerous place. Everyday it seems children are engaging in reckless behavior or are being made victims. One possibility that seems to be arising is monitoring our children with computer technology. I have a hard time accepting this idea. It seems like parents will have too much control over their children with these systems. Wanting to protect your children is one thing, but monitoring their every move is quite another thing entirely. It almost sounds like something from the novel 1984.
One possibility I could agree with is parents outfitting their children with chips that could be used to track a child's location, but that would need to be used at a police station. This way the monitoring could only be used in emergencies, like if the child goes missing. This way kidnapping victims could be located, but parents wouldn't be able to monitor their children 24/7. I do feel like we should take advantage of the technologies available to us, I just don't feel it should prevent us from trusting our family members. I am also nervous that if parents could monitor their children, the need for parent/child communication would be lost. Rather than asking their children where they were going or when they would be back, they could just check online. Call me old fashioned, but I just don't like the thought of constant surveillance of a family member.
