i feel like i'm not actually against ads. i'm against the abuse of ads, that take away from the user experience..
i won't mind seeing an ad if it doesnt get in the way of what i need to do on the pc. i don't need an ad popping up when im trying to work on something, launch an application, download a file, etc. an ad in the corner, big enough for me to be aware of it, but obscure enough to not interrupt me will serve its purpose.
problem is, ad exposure is non-regulated and i can't believe how the constant ad spamming doesn't seem to phase a lot of people.
lol no kids..
that's the thing.. by me saying talk to kids.. im saying address it all.. i'm looking to educate them, not shelter them..
if/when i have one, i'm telling them this world ain't all sunshine and rainbows.. here's how to make the smart and wise decisions..~then i'd hand them their baby bottle~
i'm wouldn't be looking to curb curiosity tho.. that's not natural at all.. instead i'd be looking to address it head on..
i'm telling my kids, yes this happens, this is a thing.. share my viewpoints on the dangers of abusing it.. and reprimand them for treating it as such.
they're still going to do it.. but at least them knowing that i'm well aware of it as a parent would lessen risk of them turning it into some sort of secret addiction of theirs.
" big + brown + shiny = sexy"
i can empathize
wildly understated too..
like.. middle school kids today navigated mobile devices with ease when they were toddlers..
they're gonna know what a vpn is before they leave high school.
we're just better off addressing the issue head on than trying to band-aid it.. it won't work
or you know... talk to your kids
Lol I was thinking this exact thing
