In a letter to the Bangor Daily News, Owen Audibert from Dedham expresses concern about the negative impact of technology on children’s upbringing and the need for parents and adults to better understand and teach internet safety. Audibert highlights the communication gap between parents and children that can arise from a lack of understanding of technology, leading to exposure to inappropriate content. He suggests that parents should undergo mandatory internet safety courses in the workplace to familiarize themselves with parental controls and prevent unsolicited internet access. Additionally, Audibert calls for updated internet safety courses and ever-evolving teaching standards to keep pace with the rapid changes in technology. He emphasizes the importance of making a concerted effort to understand new shifts in technology to ensure a safe and informed online environment for children.
