I don't want my son to hook up with the tablet.

As you know, I have a little boy’s ass.. 4 or more or less. So there are partners that I’m considered an ‘expert’ on the subject, children. when The expert is actually my wife. I do little more than follow your orders recommendations and suggestions for the education of our children. Maybe I should open another blog to give advice to less experienced parents! Well, being honest, I should open it up, my wife… anyway, let me mess with myself, let’s get back to it.

This experience, together with my dedication to the world of security, makes them sometimes come out. typical conversations as in «I don’t want my son to hook up with the tablet.» or ‘When I’m a little older I’m going to check your history. ‘ or ‘I want to know what content you’re using on YouTube because you say you want to be youtuber ‘ (my eldest son wants to be youtuber, by the way, I hope he wants to be something productive like elrubius instead of one of those who spend bad-taste jokes).

I don’t consider myself an expert. I know enough about technology to defend these issues. I’ll give you my opinion of each since, in this case, I cannot recommend to you the best way to do something, simply the way we do it at home and for the moment it has not gone wrong.

I don’t want my son to hook up with the tablet.

All my children have tablets.. Not everyone, the princess seems to want to ask for Reyes… a rose and with a lot of purpurine that shines a lot, so for the moment her 3 older brothers have a tablet and she is satisfied with watching drawings on TV… the Disney Channel of princesses when she is alone and quiet and Boing or Clan when their brothers are here and they take over the command. The tablets we have at home are not too sophisticated, a 2012 iPad 3, a Samsung Tab A d

e 2015 and another Samsung Tab A 2016, all of them 10 ‘and with porrazo-proof protective covers that have not freed them from having to change some glass from time to time. I can’t tell you how many hours each one of them spends on his tablet. but depends on the day and the place. Some nights My eldest son gets some of Netflix before you sleep or watch some YouTube video. The little ones are more of Youtube (they love the channel of MikelTube, by the way, in case Mikel and Leo’s parents see is

e blog: D) and some simple games. And as I told you, I don’t care how long they’re with the tablet because they’re not gonna hook up., It’s not the same time we live. or that of the children a few years ago when this technology came to our homes and the iPad was something we guarded as if it were our life in it. Keep in mind that my children have already been born with the technology around them, so for them The tablet is one more toy. You don’t even spend the hours with him, then you get bored and you’re gonna do something else like any other toy. These…natives

itals’as they said a few months ago the blog of S2Group they have the technology so interior that for them it is not something especially exciting, contrary to what happened to me when I unpacked my first computer at 8 (my ZX Spectrum… I drop the tear to remember it). For today’s children, Internet connection is not a privilege, it’s almost a right, and when they do not have a connection to watch some video or play some game that requires them to have a connection,

stan. I remember my first 2400 bps modem (yes, 2400 bps, that is, 0 ‘0024 mbps… at home now I have 50 meas) with which I connected for the second time to the Internet (the first was in a Cybercafé) and the excitement of listening to the sound of the modem negotiation with the telephone switchboard Infovia to be able to ‘navigate’ among the few contents that existed at that time… and of course nothing at any time, from 22: 30 at night and for more than limited time as the urban call cost a lot of money. Now my little son protests because in the car there’s no ‘vipi‘

He calls her.

For our children, tablets and Internet connection are one more toy available at home. As soon as they get to the park, they let him go and they don’t remember him again. So to the question of whether I’m afraid my kids will hook up on the tablet, my answer is that I don’t… not only am I not afraid but they are unable to do it, they get tired of it like any other game because for them it is one more. It would probably be more problematic if I rationalized it and kept it as’My treasure‘who can only play X minutes a day if they have done the duties or have behaved well (there are 4, it is IMPOS

If they were to behave well for a whole day, they would spend their lives punished.)

When I’m older, I’m going to check your history.

With regard to the second statement on reviewing our children’s history, it is something with which I’m totally against it.. My father didn’t check my history (to this day I don’t know if he knows what the record is) and thanks to that I do computer security. If my father had seen that he was going into forums where there were more people with concerns, who wondered how the Internet worked inside, nicks of some of them or that we spent the day chatting and testing things instead of using the computer to study (which had been the reason for their purchase), I would probably never have left the stem

where I started my work life. I don’t know if he trusted me or was out of ignorance of what I could find on the Internet, but the thing is, I took advantage of every minute connected to the Internet (at the price of gold as we have said before, more than 300 pesetas an hour (just under 2 €, what anger you young people give me)) to learn things about hacking, systems, servers, protocols, phone booths (the phreakingand a thousand more things. I remember a phrase used by an old boss of mine called JMegias years ago: ‘all the knowledge of the smoke

and you find Britney Spears’. And all that knowledge is not learned if someone checks your history or gives you the dash for having entered a certain page or read about a certain content. We return to the reflection we already made at the beginning of this blog when we talk about the minimum age for social media release: education. We have to teach them to detect situations, conversations or pages that might harm them in some way. And yet

So they’ll ever come in for simple curiosity. If we educate them in that direction, the Internet will become a tool of work, search for knowledge and fun, not a dark place where you have to go carefully and look where you put the clicks.

I want to know what content you’re using on YouTube because you say you want to be youtuber.

And with respect to YouTube content, it’s more or less the same, though We can limit it a little more for your own safety.. The problem we have with Youtube is that There are really offensive videos in the reach of the little ones… once I looked for a song from the movie Frozen for my children and you can’t even imagine what was on YouTube when you put ‘elsa and ana‘. It’s not pornographic content much less… but it’s weird. Even in some videos, the songs were bent with insults. With this picture and given that YouTube is used by my younger children just hac

by clicking in related videos as they can’t read, because some solution had to be put in place. That solution is called YouTube Kids, another YouTube App available in the specially designed child-friendly tablet application store where there is no need to know how to read, and more than cured and revised content. It is still recommended that an adult be monitored, but in the time my children have installed it I have not seen anything unusual taking away Russian videos from Spiderman playing dolls with Elsa de Frozen… and that we might like more or less, but they’re not of

The Russians simply have a very rare mood.

As for my eldest son, the YouTube Kids solution did not satisfy him at all (not even the Russian videos) so he has YouTube with the ‘Strict’ filter that prevents YouTube from recommending certain filtered categories. Yes elrubius (I’m sure he’s a follower of my blog), my son is one of your chorropostocientsthousand followers.

Netflix

With Netflix we do the same, the smaller ones have a user with content exclusively for children already reviewed by Netflix (there I tell you that they do not miss a wrong content) and my eldest child has a user with certain content restrictions. As before, just for your own safety, since he once saw a scene of vampires from our show and yelled because he found it very unpleasant and he was going to have nightmares. So, as Netflix does not let a user with the category ‘pre- adolescents with concerns but who do not want to be afraid’, we simply set up a

I say to access the content for over 16 years and, when my wife and I go in with our user to watch some film or series, he asks us for that code at the beginning of the session.

And what about the Apps and games that are installed?

With regard to the installed Apps, are free to install whatever they want but As little people can’t read them I’ve leaked them in the iPad App Store and the Samsung Play Store so they don’t get the apps for over 7 years., so as long as you have space, you can install all the games you want and the tablet antivirus will do the rest If the app in question is not who it says it is (if you want, another day I talk about this… leave it to me in the Comments)

As you can see, at home we are technology users and content consumers… and the only one who seems to be a little more hooked up, is me: P For them technology is just one more entertainment, they have been born immersed in it.. It is funny to me when, for example, a message comes out on the TV screen where there is a big ‘OK’ and some of my children press the screen… or when we put some picture on the TV and try to pass it with the finger on the screen (yes, there is always the TV full of little things), but for them it is the most normal thing in the world, they have not lived the transition period and adoption of the

e technology and it is something that has been there ever since, like the home-doorman or the electric elevalunas of the car, which they still touch sometimes because we have always restricted their use (for their safety) and see it as something forbidden and molon.
