Hi There.
I'm getting concerned about what content my children have access to on the internet. Obviously I can't control it all the time but I figure there must be something I can while they are home. I don't think they use the internet when they are with their friends anyway. Too busy causing mischief in the physical world.
I'm aware there are some software packages out there and perhaps some devices. I'm wondering what experiences others have had with these.
Do they really work?
Are they easy to use?
Can tech savvy kids get around them easily?
Any other thoughts?
The reason I ask if they really work. Here in Australia there was a big stink when the federal government spent 84million dollars on a national porn filter. When they launched it, a 16 year old boy hacked around the system in less than half an hour. So the Government chucked the whole idea in the bin. woops!
