Mornings With Mark

You're building out a digital identity for you kids almost from the day they are born. But it's not just you, the clubs they belong to, schools they attend, and sports they play are all contributing. What's the impact to your child? To their digital future? Social media is hard for adults to handle and the more data we gather the more disturbing the findings. What is the impact of this world on our kids? Looking beyond social media, there are a lot of challenges in children's privacy with other digital sharing tools. "Private" links and shared passwords aren't secure but most people believe they are and use those techniques to protect content involving their (and other) children. We need to have these discussions out in the open and decide how we collectively want to manage the digital identities of our children.
