I suspect that most kids, like myself, will trade TV time for the computer. In fact, I watched so little TV for a while that when the ads for the movie Galaxy Quest came out, my initial reaction was "Wow, neat show! How did I miss that series?"

Computers can also be used to facilitate social interaction - just like here at IWETHEY. They also break down barriers between who you interact with - I know my mom was often surprised when one of my BBS friends would drop by and they'd be significantly older than her.

New Kids links such as Linkasaurus
I agree with your assessment. The word that keeps coming to mind is moderation.
Use the net, don't abuse the net (as with many things in life).

Now, children, surf nicely]

Yeah, right. Some kids' sites make parents wince, but others are healthy and hip. Here's where to go if summer surfing doesn't involve the ocean
