Comments on: Modern Day Luddism http://www.collisionbend.com/2005/modern-day-luddism/ Writings, issues and observations from Cleveland, Ohio by Will Kessel Sun, 11 Jul 2010 14:08:45 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Colette http://www.collisionbend.com/2005/modern-day-luddism/comment-page-1/#comment-29 Colette Sat, 19 Feb 2005 22:43:48 +0000 /?p=26#comment-29 Thanks, Will, for stating the obvious. While we do need to worry about our children AND inapropriate access, and the obvious dangers of the Internet - however, blogging for kids - in fact any kind of journaling is wonderful. It goes without saying that kids are going to want to do the most high-tech form of journaling. Further, ALL of us can become prey to 'weirdos' if we are not careful. Thanks again for writing this letter. As ever, Colette Thanks, Will, for stating the obvious.

Further, ALL of us can become prey to ‘weirdos’ if we are not careful. Thanks again for writing this letter.

I wonder who writes the news I read online — children or predators? The points you make are pretty much spot on, but I always thought neo-Luddites were opposed to <em>unnecessary</em> technological change. I'd argue [and I'm sure you would too] that blogging is a most necessary tool.
