Here's a preview of a programme to be shown soon over the pond on PBS.
It appears to be in a similar vein to our own Panorama's One Click From Danger show a few weeks ago.
Unfortunately unless someone puts it onto YouTube I won't be able to watch it, but doesn't the tone of the preview already sound ominous.
Obviously the deeply scary side of the social web makes for far more interesting programming than highlighting the potential advantages to your kids education:
Cue ominous music (voiceover by that fella who always does action film trailers):
"The Social Web...Imagine a world where your child can interact and learn a language online...without necessarily having to divulge important identity info.
A World where ideas can be shared with both peers and educators.
This is a world your child could inhabit whilst staying at home.
Can you handle that"
Doesn't have the same ring as the threat of cyberstalking etc, does it.
Oh well let's see what happens.
