Keep your parents off the net

In the eyes of some educators the Internet is a virtual world full of dangers. Young people in the meantime have found it it be a virtual open space, where they can explore and express themselves, unchecked and unguarded. In this they are not any different than any other generation before. Teenagers used to hang out in derelict buildings or abandoned lots filled with junk, occasionally tripping over something interesting or useful, spaces inviting to explore the forbidden, spaces to leave signs in the shape of graffiti, spaces which were attractive because the were certainly not visited by adults in position of authority. These spaces still exist, now also the cyberworld.
Here a satirical comment in the form of an animation of why to keep your parents off the net.
