Digital Generation Gap – Back to the Basics


Wednesday, September 30th, 2009



The digital generation gap is defined as the occurrence of a child who is much more computer savvy than their parent! The gap is slowly closing as those who were school age before computers became commonplace get older. However, the digital generation gap can lead to problems such as online predators, exposure to inappropriate material and identity theft. I say the best approach is the two pronged common sense combined with a quick overview of parental control settings and computer monitoring software!

When researching this article I was surprised to discover that the most basic form of prevention seems to be being overlooked! Simply being present and communicating with the younger computer savvy household member goes a long way. Never discount your presence whether you are actually engaged in the situation or not I fully suggest faking it! It stands to reason then, that computers be kept in an area of the house that is occupied and busy. For example the living room or family room verses a bedroom or basement. Intentionally walk by in a manner that you would potentially be able to see what is on the screen. I have learned from experience that peering over the youngsters shoulder might cause a less than favorable reaction. However, meandering around innocently gets the message of your potential intrusion across!

The second painfully simple and overlooked form of prevention is communication. Simply speak with your child about how they are spending their time on the computer. And be open with your child about the potential dangers of internet use. Here is where you interject your annoying suggestions and misuse of cool sayings. You may even ask for a lesson or two although, depending on the cunningness of your youngster you may not want to expose your level of technical ignorance.

This two pronged approach is intended to be run simultaneously. Therefore, while implying that you can and will snoop at any given moment you should also truly do a little research and familiarize yourself with your computer.

In all seriousness it is your responsibility to protect against online predators. This unfortunately is an all too common problem that is the downfall of the incredible information and communication system. Type in keywords such as computer monitoring software, internet monitoring software and parental controls to do some comparison shopping and purchase a reasonably priced software. Roll your sleeves up and get started! The irony here is that all the knowledge you need, in any learning style you prefer is there, waiting to be accessed. Hint: Getnetwise.org is a website with extensive safety information for kids and teens. Ask your house techi for some assistance and familiarize yourself. You will be thrilled at the feeling of empowerment you have at being able to answer any question with a few keystrokes and clicks. The amount of knowledge and speed of communication is priceless!

Although the digital generation gap is getting smaller, children are still overall more computer savvy than their parents. To avoid the potential problems of online predators, exposure to inappropriate material and identity theft it is time to brush up your communication and computer skills!

Cheap Books Help With Internet Writers Block


Wednesday, September 30th, 2009



Have you been into Books a Million lately? If not consider taking a trip there because if you look long enough you will be able to find several cheap books that can help with writer’s block. This is a great way to get ideas for writing content for your  website.

I started using books to help inspire me a few years ago. The inspiration for me comes through describing things that I see in the pictures. Because one of my niche blogs focuses in on custom kitchen cabinet designs, the possibilities for content generation are endless, especially when I find a great kitchen cabinet design book.

What I have discovered is that by investing a small amount of about eight dollars in a book, I get enough inspiration to write close to one hundred articles of original content. Those one hundred articles have the potential of making a lot of money with my Intuit/Homestead website if I understand how to optimize my content correctly.

Books work as great tools for overcoming writer’s block and they also provide an escape from sitting behind the computer all day long. It’s always a nice break for me to go into a bookstore. One of the things that I am reminded of when I do this is that content is king.

When you gaze at a library of content where the shelves are filled with books from the floor to the ceiling, there is an awareness that happens in relation to content generation. People want information that we possess.

I will often take a trip to the local library when I am in need of accessing my creative writing skills that just don’t seem to be working momentarily.

I cannot explain what happens when I walk into a place where there is a huge collection of books, but I do know this; there is always a renewed passion inside to publish more content onto the internet. I am always reminded of the importance of content generation as a means of attracting visitors to my websites. No matter what our niche is, someone out there is going to be looking for information related to the things that we know.

Walking into a huge bookstore is a great reminder to me that the sky is the limit when it comes to making money on the internet through selling informational products. Not just through selling products, but by placing valuable content online and incorporating Adsense on website pages, you can make a sizable income as well.

Using books for content inspiration is a great way to keep the flow of publishing articles onto your website going on a regular basis.

If fact this particular article was inspired yesterday through me taking a trip to Books a Million. I left the mega library with one book that within less than twenty fours has compelled me to write seven articles.

The Internet is an endless sea of information. You can find something on just about any topic in the world by doing a quick Google search. I spend a lot of time behind this flat screen writing valuable content and sharing the knowledge that I have gained through the years on various subjects. It is very refreshing to just take a break from the world of the computer and step into a library where real people are looking for books filled with information.

If you are in need of finding inspiration because you are experiencing writer’s block, then I highly recommend that you take a break for the Internet and go visit your local library or bookstore. I guarantee you that you will find enough content as inspirational materials to keep you writing for years to come. You will be able to fill the pages of your website or blog with article after article of valuable content on an on going basis.
