COMPUTERS AND FAMILY

Have you heard of “Windows Live Family Safety”? It made me write this log as I read or it, let’s take a look of its possibilities. In general it helps parents if they’re using Windows Vista, they can turn on Parental Controls for each of their children's accounts. Then they can set time limits, game rating restrictions, and program limits for each family member who uses the computer.
It enables you set up web filtering to allow only the content you want your kids to see. Use contact management to choose who they talk to online when they use Windows Live Messenger, Windows Live Hotmail, and Windows Live Spaces. You can customize settings for EACH family member.
It enables you manage your kids’ safety settings from any computer, and get Web-based reports that show what your kids are doing online. You can grant or deny requests to view specific Web sites from almost any computer online.
It enables you steer your kids toward appropriate websites by setting your browser’s home page to the Family Safety child-friendly sites page.
You can read of this more at Use Windows Live Family Safety to help protect your family online .

It is interesting, isn’t it? Please don’t think that it is such a brand new idea for me but it made me to think of what a new family criminal environment has been created around us and how such a utilities are needed to take care of our families from interfacing the cyber-environment with a lot of dangers that can have for our children and how suspicious family members get in this circumstances.
Also following are some links to sites at that you can see also interesting ideas, tools and ideas around Cyber-World Safety.
· Family Computer site
· Home Network and Computer Help And once again I come to these ideas that noting is good or bad in it, it is quite relative to subjects, objects and time and how used. And also that “The biggest danger we encounter is life itself”. Let’s beg for wisdom.
