If I was a child, I would probably terribly have an account on Facebook, YouTube and your own email address. If I were a parent, I probably would have horrified that my child will click at random. And that’s why services designed just for children can see. And by the way the company from Mountain View will gain an army of new customers.
The representatives of my generation at the age of 10 years need a notebook and pen at most, and today’s 10-year-olds to complete the projects selected in school more often need a computer and email. And there is nothing surprising in this. The problem is that many Internet service is not available – at least in theory – for children under 13 years of age. Does this mean that children do not use them? And where there! The system can be easily circumvented by declaring that he has more years than in reality.
Therefore, someone on Google came up with the idea, in fact, fairly obvious: let the account specifically for children. Children Gmail, YouTube and other children’s services. Apparently YouTube project for kids is already developed, although no one in Google does not confirm these revelations. It’s all just rumors at the moment, given by “The Wall Street Journal”.
Gossip, from the point of view of parents sound pretty good. If such special children’s services actually occur, adults will be able to at least partially control what their children are doing on the network. And make sure that it does not correspond with anyone unauthorized nor watch videos, watch where they should not.
But as always controversy
Despite the fact that no one from Google does not confirm anything, I rise criticism. The authors do not believe that the Mountain View giant really wants to do something to make life easier for parents and help protect children from pedophiles and pornography. No, Google about the money. That is, in order to send advertising to our children who will not be able to resist.
And I suppose this is more than a grain of truth. Google is not a charity, a company that wants to make their services. If the little ones get their own accounts, it is primarily in order to become accustomed to Google services, before you even enter the age when they are able to recognize what is good for them and what is not. So gaining new customers, once it appears that the more new customers you can not get it.
children will probably also bombarded perfectly matched commercials, which may not even notice. The only question is what it will differ from the average television program or exit weekend the whole family to the supermarket. Ads are everywhere, you can not make that child has not seen them. You can make is that you will not have access to “adult” videos on YouTube. Is the game worth the candle? On this question every parent will no longer have to answer the same.
