CyberFrequencies.com: We bring you life on the Web.

In case you didn't hear it, CyberFrequencies was on NPR's Weekend Edition with Scott Simon. After Scott interviewed Tanya and I, we asked him a few questions. And as a result, Scott Simon's this week's CyberFrequencies guest star!



We're also guest blogging for NPR's Soapbox. Here's our (edited) first post:



KIDS ON THE WEB

It's truly amazing what kids can do on the web these days. NPR's Scott Simon says that when he got his iPhone "literally within two minutes" his six-year-old daughter showed him how to take pics and eventually download aps! My friend's six-year-old, Lola, wants to be a
star on the Web.



And her cousin Ocelotl loves to go to the Jackson Pollack site where he can make his own paint-splattered homage. But still, every parent I know is conflicted. Should my kid go online? Is it safe?



Maria Knee says it's our responsibility to teach kids how to be
safe online.



She's a kindergarten teacher who blogs with her students and we asked her: aren't Kindergartners too young to be on the Internet? Mrs. Knee says that unlike TV, the Internet isn't just a source of entertainment. It's becoming our primary source of information.



So... What do you think? If you have any questions about your kid and the 'net? Email us and and we'll pass them onto Mrs. Knee and let you know what she says!
