Raising A Digital Child
As a technological society it is our responsibility to provide all users the opportunity to work, interact, and use technology without the interference, destruction, or obstruction by the actions of inappropriate users. As digital citizens we pledge to help create a society of users that strive to use technology appropriately. We will work with others to identify the needs of technology users and provide opportunities to make them effective.
