Martin Varsavsky: The Real-Time Web Makes Your Life Safer

"I think differently. I believe that being public about your life, disclosing your address, your location, your habits, and learning a great deal about the habits of others, is not necessarily adding risk to your life. First of all, I should clarify that I live in Spain and that I have not heard of a single recent kidnapping case in Spain. I also spend a considerable amount of time in the USA and neither have I heard about kidnappings over there. So I don't worry about kidnappings. But in Spain, as everywhere, there is common crime, and being part of the real time web makes it more likely, for example, for criminals to find out where my home is or whether I am at home or not. My home has been published in magazines, appears on Google Earth/Maps and published in my own Flickr account. So is leading a real time online life a risk? Are we safer or less safe if we frequently blog, use Twitter, Facebook, and Google Latitude? I think the web makes us safer. Even Google Latitude which shares your location in real time with others."

Social networks and kids: How young is too young? - CNN.com

"Some scientists worry that pre-adolescent use of the sites, which some therapists have linked to Internet addiction among adults, could be damaging to children's relationships and brains.

But many other experts say there's not any solid research to back that up and that most children seem to use social-media sites in moderation, and in positive ways."
