Yes, it was a little nerve-wracking. I convinced myself I was just chatting to someone over the phone rather than being broadcast on the radio! Mr Woc – Thanks for your kind comments.

I agree with your comment that there is a lot of good online, just as there is some bad. Children can (and do) benefit hugely from the online experience - they just need to be supervised and educated about the potential dangers. <strong>Hirsutism</strong> - I agree; there are huge benefits to be had from meeting new people and sharing new ideas, people just need to take the same precautions online as they would offline.

But I would also like to add that online socializing is also good in a way, one learns a lot by meeting new people, be it online or personal. But what has to be taken care is that we should see that our children our meeting the right kind of people and not the people who would have a negative influence on them.

You spoke very well. And as long as the topic goes of how much the children should be exposed to the online sites. I would say with the world wide web sitting there with welcome with open hands it is very tough to keep our children away from it. The least that we can do is to expose them to good sites rather then the wrong sites. We can explain to them what is good and what is bad.

That truly was a breath of fresh air. <strong>Dave</strong> - Thanks for your comment, I am glad you enjoyed listening! I think online communities do struggle for legitimacy and credibility but this simply has to change as they become an ever more important part of the online experience. <strong>NationVoice</strong> - I agree. People simply need to take the same precautions online as they do offline. What is your real name, by the way?

People have to use them responsibly. I think as long as we recognize there are dangers and address them where possible, that is about all we can do. People have to use them responsibly.
