You are here
The Family Online Safety institute recently released its latest research report, "Parenting in the Digital Age: How Parents Weigh the Potential Benefits and Harms of Their Children's Technology Use". According to the survey, 42 percent of parents think the potential benefits and potential harms of being online are about equal, with 93 percent of parents believing that their kids are somewhat safe online. The report also discusses the concept of “cyber-reality”, the idea that online safety should not only acknowledge and discuss risks, but cultivate a culture of responsibility in young people, parents and even seniors.
