The Tower of Babel describes the reason why there are so many beautiful languages in the world today.  It describes the impact that communication has on the closeness of the human race.  

With the invention of the internet, the world has become much smaller and the word “communication” has stretched to encompass a variety of new ways to chat.

The internet allows people from opposite ends of the earth to communicate directly with each other in a matter of seconds.  It’s a wonderful tool for keeping in touch or making new friends, but is it good for our children?

Well, like many things in life the answer to that question is, it depends.  There are dangers on the internet that arise from the ability to make new friends.  It allows some people to use the internet as a tool to hurt and trick others.

But there are also many positives about the internet, like 100% Safe, FREE children’s book sites like My StoryTown.  

The best way to make the most out of the internet is to make sure that you monitor what your children are up to online.  Teach them how to communicate safely.  Never let your child give out pictures of themselves and of course no specific information like addresses or schools or after-school activities.

Take a moment and talk to your children about the dangers of the internet before you show them all of the cool things that the internet can allow them to do, so that they are prepared before they begin communicating on their own.

Here is a link to a website with some good information about internet safety

Please enjoy reading this The Tower of Babel and please tell everyone you know about this story and the other great books on the site.

Thank you,
