Baby Site Article

I honestly don't have a problem with these websites, but I just think it is a little much just for an infant or an unborn infant to have a website such as something like a facebook. The reason I feel that it is a little much is that it is not like they know how to use a computer at that age. I really don't see any advantages or disadvantages in baby web sites. I know that my parents would never have used any of these websites because it is not necessary. There really was no information or events I want to ponder around because my life was boring at the beginning.
The web sites for babys might be an advantage becaus thell learn how to read or even know how to use a computer but facebook, do they really need one, I think its unnecessary for them to have a facebook because theres nothing halpfull in it for babies. I dont think my parents would have never used these web site because there unnecessary for me. I dont think I remember back then what was interasting so i dont really know if I would care.

I think that It Is a bit to much for a little child to have a web site on the internet. There are advantages about this for parents that wants to get in contact with each other and they can let their babies play with each other. there are disadvantage like the babies can write on the site them self and the mothers will write on the page. alex paulusson
I think that introducing something similar to Facebook to KG-ers is absurd. I think they need time to be kids, and not have to launch into the social networking world from the day they were born My parents definitely wouldn't have been keen on these websites. I am not particularly nostalgic about my KG years, and I don't feel that I need any more information on those years.
I think the websites described in this article are very helpful. They are very helpful because they connect people socially for many reasons like: asking questions, advice, and help. These websites can help parents a lot because it can give them help for their newborn baby or their young child, and this advice is given by people who have parenting experience. The only disadvantage I see is that parents can sometimes post embarrassing things about their child, which can hurt the child’s feelings when he or she grows up. An advantage would be that it could have nice memories about a child, which he or she can see when they grow up. If my parents were introduced to these websites I think they would have used them. If I could see information from the past I would want to see pictures of myself as a newborn baby and notes about how much I cried.
I found this article to be very interesting. Who would've thought that babies would have their own websites. That would've sounded crazy ten years ago. I think these baby sites are not a good thing. If I had a child I would not add him/her to any social network. I would be scared of stockers and people who have no business on the site. I wouldn't care if there were privacy settings, I would still be scared. A disadvantage of this site might be the people who visit it. Parents might not be cautious about who sees their information and then their child could end up kidnapped. The chance of something happening to someone's baby increases if their son/daughter belongs on a social networking site. An advantage would be the ability for relatives to stay updated about any new recent news. If my parents had the chance to create a profile for me on a social networking site, I don't think they'd take the risk. They would be cautious like me. If for some reason I did have a profile on one of these baby sites, I wouldn't have any pictures but instead events that have happened. For instance: my first words, the first time I walk, and the first time I use the toilet by myself.
I think that this site for kids isn't harmful, none the less their is no point to this site what will it do for kids who might not be able to speak or maybe even unable to walk. I think it is a creative site that can help mothers talk about their babies more but I think that their is no real purpose for such a site.
well I find this article some what interesting. I think having facebook for babies are good idea, but if they have facebook they have to spend some time in front of computer, that is what i disagree
(Going off the topic for this paragraph)
Many scientist are saying that elementary and middle scholars should not have phone. Because of "electronic wave" Especially phon gives out a lot of those waves. Not only that younger you are more electronic wave your brain will absorb. That will cause a lot of problems when they grow up.
As I told you electronic wave also comes out of the laptop or computer but not as much as phone does. They are young and they will absorb almost every wave that is coming out of the computer.
There are some advantages to this. Since all the users have baby, they can share information about baby and what to do when they got suddenly sick.
I dont think that this kind of site is nnecessary. That's because, kids at that age wouldn't know how to use the computer, they might not be able to talk yet. So what is the point of this site? I think that it might be good for mothers to talk about her kids, but i dont think that the kids would know how to use it. Afterall i think its not necessary.
I think that babies can benifit from these kinds of things. It gets them in a place where they are already comfortable with computers and allows them to become good typeists at a young age. This way, when they get to be our age, they will be able to type very fast with minimal mistakes and this would help to do homework a lot faster. When they get to an age where they are employable, they will be very advanced on this one employability skill. All in all I think that this will help them in life. The Facebook, however, is not necessary until they reacha later age. It contains nothing for a baby to do and is set up for a bit of an older age group.
The only part that concerns me about the younger age group being on Facebook is that too much information is put out there for stalkers. I mean putting up a picture of them on your personal page is fine, but when you have a seperate one for them it starts to worry me. Its scary thinking who could hack on their page and find out their information even before they're in their teens.
This is the worst idea I've ever heard in my life. This new generation is all technology. The 1980s generation is all about physical work. The 1990s generation is more like the even generation. But what can a baby do on totspot.com .
I do not agree with this. I think that it was totally wrong because i would not want people to see my personal information, because if a hacker came on and saw the kids website it could cause someone to stalk the kid and then maybe later kid nap. But there is an advantage to it. If I have a relative that lives over seas i would like to share pictures with them. But people should do this over email, it is safer.
The websites described in the article is a bad thing. I find it dangerous to expose your kids to the whole world. You never know who's at the other end of the computer. I find it wrong that one of the parents had their child's voice on the website, letting them communicate with other people. If my parents had the opportunity to do so they wouldn't because they don't like information about my personal life on the web.
