Seeing Children through the Tech World

-
Some children have become addicted to technological devices including computers, video games, internet, and social networking. Therefore, it is the sole responsibility of parents to ensure that they are knowledgeable on the potential negative aspects of technology use, as well as how it can be used in a responsible manner.  Therefore, technology should aid proper parenting if parents gets involved in how their children are using technology positively and productively.  However, it is nearly impracticable for parents to control everything that their children are exposed to through technological use.

Russian businessman Sergei Mavrodi, whose MMM pyramid scheme deprived millions of Russians of their savings in the 1990s, has died of a heart attack, according to Russia media. Reports said the 62-year-old was rushed to the hospital late on March 25 with pain in his chest and died several hours later.
