So I decided to talk to my mom (age 50) about the internet safety discussions/videos/readings we had to complete for our assignment. My mom was not surprised about what I had told her because she has seen the dangers of the internet in person. My mom used to work at a Holiday Inn located in Downtown Los Angeles and needless to say, people do strange things in hotels. Well one day, my mom got a call from someone that they had found a dead body in one of the hotel rooms...yes a dead body (which is not as abnormal as you would think). The police were called in and they had figured out what had happened: A man had met a women online and they arranged a meeting at this hotel. Well the lady had checked in first and when the guy came into the room, he saw the lady had a friend with her...well the lady and her friend robbed and killed the man. Needless to say, my mom knows the dangers of the internet.
My mom and I talked about what the internet has to offer in both good and bad. The experience was positive because my mom is not scared to talk about truth. Unfortunately, the truth is that some people do use the internet as a means to create pain for not only other people, but for themselves.
