Imun atau Sterilisasi untuk akses internet

Internet sekarang memainkan peran besar dalam hidup kita,  dalam kehidupan anak-anak kita. Tidak hanya koneksi internet biasanya ditemukan di sekolah dan di rumah, tetapi juga teknologi mobile berarti semakin banyak anak-anak bisa  mengakses internet dari tempat-tempat yang kita tidak akan pernah anda bayangkan sebelumnya . Meskipun Anda mungkin tidak memberi anak anda Smart Phone, bukan berarti  teman mereka tidak punya , dan lagi cukup dengan handphone yang memiliki GPRS maka anak sudah memiliki sebuah akses internet sederhana
Dengan semua ini akses mudah ke web di seluruh dunia, anak-anak terkena serangan gencar informasi yang berpotensi berbahaya dan interaksi berbahaya dengan orang-orang aneh anda tidak tahu. Kebanyakan orangtua mengakui ini, tetapi merasa tidak berdaya untuk berbuat banyak , tetapi meski demikian kita tidak mungkin benar-benar melarang  mereka dari menggunakan internet karena selain bahaya dan dampak buruk yang terknadung di dalamnya , ada juga banyak manfaat yang besar dari sebuah jaringan Internet

Jadi bagaimana cara menyeimbangkannya apakah kita bisa memberi imun kepada anak tanpa perlu langkah sterilisasi atau pelarangan secara mutlak?

Langkah pertama adalah menerapkan  beberapa jenis kontrol atas bagaimana anak-anak Anda menggunakan perangkat komunikasi yang kuat ini, ironisnya, komunikasi itu sendiri  , apakah kita punya waktu banyak untuk berkumpul dialog , dengan anak kita tentang  anak-anak kita menggunakan internet, . Jadi  nomor satu langkah ialah "pertahanan,", keluarga harus menjadi benteng yang tangguh  untuk saling berbagi tentang hal-hal yang dialami sehari-hari.

Langkah kedua software untuk memblokir konten yang vulgar atau tidak cocok untuk anak-anak (ini jika anda punya koneksi internet di rumah) Anda kemudian dapat mengatur filter untuk membuat jenis konten tertentu terlarang untuk pengguna tertentu, tetapi ini hanya bisa anda lakukan di rumah bagaimana bila mereka mengakses internet dari warnet atau tempat-tempat di luar rumah.

Tidak peduli software apa yang Anda gunakan, anda tidak boleh  meremehkan kecerdasan anak-anak dengan teknologi komputer hari ini.  Siswa sayapun yang sebagaian besar tinggal di pegunungan , rata-rata memiliki email dan saat mereka mendapat tugas dari sekolah dengan gampangnya mereka menyulap Handphone Nokia mereka menjadi Modem pada PC atau Laptop mereka, jadi sayapun agak terkejut karena sekolah kami 40 kilometer dari pusat kota dengan sinyal yang terbatas untuk semua provider.

Jadi menurut anda apakah perlu langkah sterilisasi atau imun, jika anda setuju dengan imun dengan alasan lebih baik untuk berkomunikasi dengan anak Anda dan mengajarkan mereka perilaku yang bertanggung jawab .

Perlu diketahui bahwa bahkan jika anak Anda melakukan hal yang benar dan menghindari potensi bahaya berkat  apa yang Anda telah ajarkan, berarti anda mengurangi resiko kejahatan internet pada anak , meski ada anak-anak tak berdosa lain di luar sana menjadi korban.

Ann Arbor Michigan

From New York we left for Detroit, and from there to the University town Ann Arbor. This is where our son has been living for the last 3 years, having completed his MS in Automobile Engineering, working and pursuing his PhD.
We were there for about 2 days, and we all left together for San Francisco, from where our journey was to begin in a rented car.
Ann Arbor is a quiet place, there is nothing much to write about it . You would find a lot of young people everywhere, for it is a University town. It is quite pretty with beautiful landscaping, lakes and malls, restaurants and theaters, Indian shops, hospital etc, 


The University of Michigan boasts one of the best college towns in the country: Ann Arbor, only 45 minutes from the city of Detroit. Freshmen are guaranteed housing but are not required to live on campus.
Our son lives in an apartment sharing it with one of his class mate. These buildings are mostly occupied by foreign students mostly from India, China and  Korea. All these apartment buildings face a beautiful lake and the landscaping around is very beautiful. 
Ann Arbor has a lot of parks, where one can find students jogging, running, cycling or just doing nothing.










Some facts about University of Michigan as found in the Internet:
Michigan’s graduate programs include the highly ranked Stephen M. Ross School of Business,School of EducationCollege of EngineeringLaw SchoolMedical SchoolGerald R. Ford School of Public PolicySchool of Public Health, and School of Nursing in addition to the well-regarded School of Dentistry and Taubman College for Architecture and Urban Planning. The University of Michigan Hospitals and Health Centers is ranked among the top hospitals in the country. Former U.S. President Gerald Ford, actress Lucy Liu of the Charlie’s Angels and Kill Bill film series, and NFL quarterback Tom Brady all graduated from Michigan.

The mission of the University of Michigan is to serve the people of Michigan and the world through pre-eminence in creating, communicating, preserving and applying knowledge, art, and academic values, and in developing leaders and citizens who will challenge the present and enrich the future. Students have the opportunity to work with world-renown faculty. There are literally hundreds of clubs, groups, and organizations covering a variety of social, cultural, and  academic interests. The University abuts the city of Ann Arbor, which has its own thriving social and cultural identity. There is literally something for everyone here.


Since Michigan students are generally considered well rounded academically and socially, many companies are eager to hire Michigan graduates. It is not too big, its not too small. Its a perfect fit size wise.   Once you're a Michigan student, You'll always be a Michigan student. There's an intangible element of Pride that becomes part of you and can never be removed. The place kind of grows on you, and you become so comfortable, that living somewhere else becomes too difficult.
Our son likes this place very much, he has free access to do a lot of research in his chosen field, and is confident he would get a good job. He had worked hard to get into this University, for it is supposed to be the best for Automobile Engineering. From a very young age he was only interested in automobiles, and his intention of joining this University, finally got fulfilled.
He has decided that he would be settled there only forever. The opportunities that are there for him to pursue in his field cannot be found in India. Maybe if the situation in this field in India changes, he would definitely come here. I wish he had chosen some other field to pursue, that way he could always think of coming back to India at the right time.
So, although he might be satisfied with the right kind of job, I feel sad that he has chosen to live there, for after sometime he would want to come back to India, and like many others he would never be able to come. I know how lonely life can become after sometime, for no country can be as vibrant and so full of life, ever changing like India.
But  I guess to get some thing you have to give up something. As long as one is happy doing what one likes there should be no problem.
There is the Henry Ford Museum to see, and they organize a lot of automobile exhibitions, and there a few  other interesting places to see if one has the time. Every place in Ann Arbor can be reached in just 10 mins, it is a nice peaceful town.
May be during our next visit we would be able to explore a little more.

Children and Parents

This paper was triggered by news of the Juvenile Court in Surabaya. Reported that a child playing in the school with bees, bees put it into his cheek and then the bees stung his cheeks are. Finally the boy stranded in the judicial process, that although the verdict later acquitted but the days of terror that must have been mentally affected the child's soul.

Also about a man named Lanjar. It's unfortunate fate, the way around, his accident and died, was so Lanjar jail. Why is that? Of course not separated from panther car owners who were members of the police. The wife slammed into the side, struck by a car panther to death, the husband was thrown into prison. In short it. Fate? maybe.


I was reminded by the method of learning the parents first, my method is hate and I've written repeatedly on this blog as a wrong method. Our parents (who obviously my parents still) used to often say the word, "watch out, then I'll tell the police officer" when we do not think. The method is still the program I see when I've hit high school, conducted by my neighbors when the child their children would not eat.
The way it wrong! Instill unwarranted fear of children, obviously will not provide any benefits, not educate the child as well. This method will only lead to a lasting impression on the child in whose name the police that it was scary. Yet the nature of pemolisian is to protect society, not the method that just does not support this?
However, recent developments, particularly when it appeared the case, I was thinking, too, lest what the old people we used is a smart preventive efforts to protect the child from the arrogance of power wrapped in police uniform, huh? Could be ..
Selecting Friends for the Children
These subtitles was not smart. I hate that word. Children are free to choose anyone who wants to be friends. I wish so. Let him free, mature in his search, including the search for a friend who considered accordingly. We just enough to give the outlines of a friendship if not harmful. And perhaps if there are symptoms reminiscent to the negative direction, prohibiting the negative rate was deemed alarming. Really, I wish so.
But this development makes me think, the kids with all the world like him, with the try-try, of course, allows the child to do things that even outside of our maturity of reason. Or if not called in outside standard-grip style adults. Like they say, hide and seek, there is no sense of embarrassment for them to hide in places which felt strange adults, such as in a holster his grandfather when the grandfather was a game of chess, or in her mother's skirt when the mother was hanging clothes, and so forth. With a world like that, so perhaps a child-like play tossing the mud and got in his face.
In consideration of it, I was thinking, "maybe my son should not play with her son the police". Nothing, but if my child must follow a traumatic trial like that, I would not be able to forgive myself. Oh of course I also will not be able to forgive people who make my child go through that, but would gimana again, that person must have the power. So, avoid alone. Make friends with fellow commoners only problem. A cool-cool it is.
Nuff said. Ric times if the mailing-list. Already, the sentence is enough to explain, no need to explain anymore. Until the police to clean up themselves, to fire the people who apply to arbitrary, it is still relevant. So.
let's make friends with children who are not just police

Lessons from Small Animals

The world is now a global crisis, imagine a super country like America to have to do layoffs everywhere.. While in Indonesia, the crisis is not too heavy but its impact lately has also begun to feel the pressure of life, natural disasters, and crime problems are more widespread, our society seems increasingly fragile and easily lost control in dealing with these problems. . That's because we start to lose the basic values of the nation, so that we become vulnerable and easy to unsteady problems.

One thing that is becoming obsolete in Indonesia is help to each other. . is the attitude of mutual cooperation. Once each faces a tough job for example: grow rice and build a house with a lot of people will volunteer to finish, but now each work valued in money, so all must be paid for, if grow rice without paying workers a wage so that work not be done, this is not only happening in the city even in the villages were also occurs.

Now in urban areas is normal if the neighborhood but did not know each other. . Sense of harmony and mutual respect began vanished. . Let us learn from the little creature that is a very industrious ants work together to help each other every problem, every meeting with their own flock, they will recognize each other, as if to shake each other. . I hope to help each other and support each other our nation will be stronger in facing global challenges today.
