What Kaia's father is exposing her to is incredible and scary at the same time. All this new technology and being able to reach maybe millions of people on the web is mind-boggling. What we can learn on the web is limitless. I remember when I was in school and we were limited to encyclopedias and the library. Kids and adults alike are able to learn a multitude of things good and bad from a computer.
I also think that Kaia's father has a reason to be scared also. The good that comes with the internet, Facebook, Twitter, etc. also has a bad side. There are scary people that roam the internet and are looking for victims everyday. Before Facebook and Twitter how many people, just by looking at their phone, or scanning Facebook, could tell what you were doing and where you were every minute of the day. This is really getting ridiculous and we all need to be cautious of what we put out there on the web.

An amazing story!
ReplyDeleteThere is definitely a bad side to the internet and technology as well! That is probably my only reason for being hesitant to do anything.

ReplyDeleteGreat post! I couldn't agree with you more about learning being limitless with the net! It still blows my mind that we have all the incredible opportunities that we do, it is truly amazing, and a scary at the same time.
Kaia's story was very heart warming and a true inspiration! I was blown away at the talent she possesses as such a small child, and the amazing support that her father shows!
