Kids, these days are smart, smarter than teachers, parents
or any adult. Within minutes, they know how to operate a Mac, iPad, iPhone,
iPod or any other fascinating devices. Talk of Internet, kids know how &
where to download their favorite games from. Gadget manufacturer also produce
devices keeping interest of kids in their mind. It’s the part of the worldwide
business. With modern technology, laced with web, kids can surf along everything.
They can watch cartoon, read books, play Temple-Run, watch PORN. Oops,
did I say Porn? Yes a kid or pack of kids may somehow know how to watch
porn videos, messages or photos through some websites. Or an innocent kid may
accidentally reach a pornographic website which can immediately ruin the soft
mind.
Talking of
porn and adult content, website on web shows almost everything. Sex, violence,
gory content is available like cookies. Forget kids, even adults are addicted to
gory content over the web. These website producing such contents hardly bother
about who or whom is accessing their websites. Adult sites can easily be
penetrated by clicking their weak age proof feature which reads “I am over 18”.
As a matter
of fact, there is no doubt parents are realizing this bitter truth and want to
take actions. Actions, not necessarily means harsh one but they can be
implemented using simple technical tricks that allow monitoring websites on a
Mac computer.
