Internet Safety in a 2.0 world

This was yet again another time I said to myself "So glad I don't have kids" - I can't imagine how difficult it would be to keep track of your kid these days. There is so much information available and it so easily accessed. It is relatively easy to be anonomyous if you choose to be. The internet has completely changed all aspects of our lives. I think it is the parent's responsiblity to track their child's use of the internet. I checked a couple of the tracking softwares suggested in resources for this "thing" - it is amazing the amount of information that can be tracked with this stuff and it is inexpensive. Although, it makes you wonder about internet security if it is as easy as purchasing this software to be able to track communication and get passwords... Yikes!
