I had the privilege of attending a panel discussion organised by the Optimist Clubs of Barbados on Internet Safety. It was both timely and very helpful in empowering those who were there to be critical thinkers and safe promoters of the Internet. It began with a brief video presentation on eSafety followed by some very articulate secondary school students who shared their views about the Internet. The evening’s schedule was very tight and lots was discussed, however, due to time constraints I was not able to share my views on the matter then so I have posted my comments and some afterthoughts here.
