Everyone has a Myspace account these days. You can find almost anything on myspace, from love, games, books, movies, music, and even friends. One of the most intriguing things about myspace to me is the web templates that the web site provides to its users. These templates can be modified in many different ways to produce millions of different myspace web pages. Also biographical information along with quotes and other miscellaneous information are easily entered into this template. It seems to me that many of the users on myspace are just trying to keep in touch with old friends, but some users are looking for a “good time”. Also it seems that some users are just on myspace to try to get as many “friends” to add them to their lists as they can. The only thing that worries me about myspace is the amount of younger children that have pages on the site.



I have seen many different news shows lately about sexual predators that try to lure young children into a meeting with them for sex. I am afraid that myspace makes this much easier for these sexual predators to find children, because it basically gives them a direct link to them. I guess as with all things, parents need to keep an eye on their children, and make sure that they are not getting themselves into anything that they should not be getting into.

My wife and I recently had a son, so now I am really taking an interest into anything that I think can harm him. I think that the information that is provided on myspace can really do some harm if it falls into the wrong hands. I do not think that I will ever allow my son to be online in a room by himself without myself or my wife with him, because I am afraid that a sexual predator might lure him into a meeting. Just remember that myspace is like many other things in life – most people use its power for good, but a few use it for evil. So just be sure that you supervise your kids and keep them safe.
