Limitations for Technology

I do not believe that some sites, Myspace and YouTube for example, should be used in schools. I know that there are very many useful videos on there, but that isn't what students will be watching. I just don't see the point of Myspace in the first place. There should be limitations on sites that have inappropriate content, no educationsal purpose or use in schools. There have been thousands of children and teens all across the country who have been abducted due to internet related incidents. Met someone in a chat room, saw their Myspace, watched their YouTube video, and somehow found out where they were or gain their trust enough to meet them. I do not think that any of these sites have any point to them and, personally, don't use them. However, what site you are allowed on at home are a different story. The government can block these sites and many more for use in schools, but outside of it is the user's choice. As I have said before, it is your choice, and once you make it YOU have to live with it.
