Two generations of computing now…

The older, and the kids… who are smarter… and faster…

Some older folks are psychotic… YES… And of course should be monitored and feared by parents…

BUT KNOWLEDGE IS POWER…

and if parents educate themselves about the internet today… and monitor their children and their actions PROPERLY… then myspace would become THE pivotal social network…

Me? I think it’s hilarious the parent didn’t know, or understand… But feel it’s tragic, and really the message I think is being overlooked here is that we need to realize the true power of this social, worldwide network, we call the internet

bigger than just myspace, tom or any other thing…

Wake up people

Cshel,

Just too funny.

Don’t know if the parent is overprotective, ignorant, or both.

Its kind of weird how there are so many islands to themselves. It seems quite common in the tech world that everyone assumes another techie knows about something, but no one outside of all that really cares.

I work in technology, and am an active part of numerous online communities. I don’t do Myspace, and had never heard of Tom.

So shove your superiority. There are entirely different online social scenes that most Myspacers have never heard of.

How old’s the stepdaughter?

I was gonna make a joke about the parent overreacting cause everyone knows Tom only likes 13-year-olds if she was 14 or 12-year-olds if she was 13…

But alas…

Hilarious post.
