Virtual communities

Children are happier with their Virtual existences because to them nobody knows who they are and also they can be who they want to be by hiding their identity. Also the attitude of children today to the internet includes revealing insights into how they feel when they are on the web.
And to my own point of view the tolling of video games and the Internet are taking on our civilization especially from young people from age 11- 15 and I can say that the project done by adults on the virtual realities upon youth is misplaced and if there were a real world for children to inhabit and inherit, there would be no video games. Furthermore the ultimate virtual realities of drugs and pornography into which video game generation is graduating would lose much of appeal if our culture possessed a coherent set of moral values which, manifest in a sensible, sustainable lifestyle, provided a real adulthood for youth to embrace.
Having a facebook is a good way of communicating with your online friends, but spending more hours on facebook like 5 hours is a time wasted for me because I found it too boring when I spend such hours.
My advice for parent is that you should be careful the way will use information like credit cards in the presence of our children because that might prompt them to use it to buy unnecessary things that will might get blame for in the future.

  2. I think those hours should be spend wisely , by reading a creative books,Listening to news or if that person is jobless they can engage in voluntary jobs which is available in our communities this will help in building a CV in seeking for employment
