Not only with mySpace, but recently Facebook a cross of Public Policy into the Information Environment has occurred with incriminating underage college students who posted photographs of themselves drinking, and conducting in other illegal activities on college campuses. All actions that you take on any of these sites must be taken into consideration with your future. Colleges and potential employers have access to them, and can deny you opportunities based off of the character you portray in your profiles.

Ashley just nailed it. And technology keeps evolving and developing fast. Crazyfast.
And children are very, very smooth operators. I think a lot of teachers have a better handle on what is happening with the students than the parents do. The teachers keep having to come up with ways to stop the technology from intruding on their classes.
I like what you guys are saying, it's great.
