Protecting our Children in an Online WorldBy Trey Blundell
During my childhood, we entertained ourselves with ourimaginations,boardgamesandbyplayingoutside.Computerswere,comparedtonow,large,expensivemachinesfoundonlyinabusinesssetting.Allofthathaschangedduringthepastthirtyyearswiththeinventionofpersonalcomputersandthesubsequentcommoditizationof them and the Internet over the past fifteen years.

While we wouldn’t put our children on a bicycle without a helmet, many children today use the Internet without protection frominappropriate content or from people who would do them harm.One problem is that many parents don’t understand or know about thedangersthatlurk,nordotheyknowhowtoprotecttheirchildrenwhenonline. Accordingtothemostrecentpublishedestimates,approximately12%ofallwebsitesarepornographyorrelatedtopornographyand79%ofunwantedyouthexposuretopornographyoccursinthehomeEquallydisturbingaretwoothertrends:onlinebullyingandtheriseoftheonlinechildpredator.Itisestimatedthat9%ofchildrenarebulliedorharassedonline–whetheronasocialnetworkingwebsite,suchasMySpace,orviae-mail.Itisalsoestimatedthat13%ofchildren were sexually solicited in 2005, with 4% of these beingreferredtoas“aggressivesolicitations”,inwhichsolicitorsmadeorattempted to make offline contact with youth . Parenting in today’s online world could present challenges for whichyoumaynotfeelready,butapplyingthesameparentingskillsthatyouarealreadyusing,suchaslimitsandconsequences,combinedwiththefollowinglistwillgetyoustarted:• Secure your computer: at a minimum, install and run anti-
virus, anti-spyware and content filtering software. Consider monitoringsoftwarethatcanrecordwhereyourchildisspendingtime–websitesvisited;chatroomsvisited,etc.SoftwareisalsoavailabletolimitthetimesthatyourchildcanusetheInternet.

• Talk to your children about the potential dangers and build an atmosphere of trust:letthemknowthatnottalkingtostrangersalsoapplieswhenonline; stress to themthe importanceofnotsharing any of their personal information with anyone whileonline.
• Place the computer in a common area of the house where it and the children can be monitored:parentssaytheyaremorevigilant about wheretheirteen(s)goonlineif the computer is ina public area of thehousehold.
• Establish Internet usage rules for home and away: when itcan be used; what isconsideredappropriate;how one is expectedto act, i.e. don’t be a bully.
• B u i l d a p a r e n t network: know yourchildren’s friends and talk with their parents about Internet safety. Your efforts to protect your child could be compromised at afriend’s house if Internet safety hasn’t been considered in their household.Ittakesavillagetoprotectourchildren.

The article praises Austin for working with the rest of Texas to pass a statewide incentiveprogramthatprovidesproducerswith rebates forfilming in the Lone Star State. Another highlight is the Austin Film Commission’s new “Now Playing: Cast and Crew Bonus Features” discount program, which extends discounts atlocal businesses to industry professionals filming in Austin. MovieMaker also cites the region’s diverse geography, broad industry infrastructure (including a sufficient crew base and ample studio space) and film-friendliness as other reasons the cityremainsafavorite. “AustinisbackontopoftheMovieMakerrankings–anawardthatiswelldeserved.Wehavelongbeenconsideredafilm friendly city, and the industry here has worked hard to get thewordout,“saysGaryBondoftheAustinFilmCommission.
