Staying one step ahead without going crazy

As more and more generations begin growing up with technology in every aspect of their lives, they will become more tech savvy than the generation raising them. While there is some good to this there are also some problems if you aren’t able to stay up to date with technology yourself. One area where this is a concern for all parents is in the area of pornography on the internet. I remember the first time I was helping my brother with a school project on the White House and came up with a porn site. I think we all just about died and it was something I know my mother was very upset about because we were young. In our case a porn filter would have helped us out a lot. Not every child just happens across porn accidentally though. Some actively seek out pornography much to their parents dismay. What parents don’t always understand is that there are many easy ways to get around porn filters so their children are not being properly blocked from the sites like they think.

So what can you do about this as a parent? Well obviously you want to discuss with your children openly about pornography and your family’s view on the issue. Once you have done that you should not only look into a porn filter but a porn detection program. Porn detection programs are one step above a filter in that they scan your computer to see if any photos exist on your computer which is evidence that members of your family have been getting around your filter. By running scans actively and speaking with your family they will quickly realize that they will get caught and are more likely to behave appropriately. A porn detection program like that offered by SurfRecon looks at all images no matter where they originated so you can rest assured that if they are using other methods like cds, dvds, or jump drives (USB drives) that you will be notified and can take appropriate action. If you are having problems associated with porn or would like to nip them in the bud before they come up visit SurfRecon and check out their porn detection software.
