Unfortunately an Internet-illiterate government is also condemning many children to years of Web addiction.

The government assumes that the more money it throws into IT for schools, and the more it encourages parents to invest in PCs and broadband, the better it is for students.

We followed the government's lead and now my 17-year-old son is highly addicted to multi-player games on the Internet. His academic career has come to a complete standstill. If this happens to your family, do whatever you can to get rid of the connection, no matter what threats the child makes. (For those of us who work from home via a company-provided broadband line, this can be very difficult.)

Do not believe anyone or any institution which says or implies that only good can come from installing a broadband line at home.
