Being Digital by Nicholas Negroponte is a thoroughly enjoyable read. Unlike many books that discuss the electronic media and the future, this book is upbeat, intelligently written, and conveys excitement and the joy of possibilities in our digital future.
Quote: "Being digital is different. We are not waiting on any invention. It is here. It is now. It is almost genetic in its nature, in that each generation will become more digital than the proceeding one."

Kids Rule the Net - This directory to web sites and online services will help educate and guide parents and families to great online experiences for children. This book also covers online safety, and gives information and pointers to games, homework help, chat, and more areas for kids to explore.
Our feelings about online safety and kids? Give your child the same amount of freedom online (especially in chat rooms, instant messages and email)that you allow him or her in real life in a public place like a park. That means supervision and care on the part of the parents. Like it or not there are predators everywhere, in public places and on the internet. No amount of online controls or special software can replace a vigilant parent. while we feel that the threat of the internet to children has been hyped by the media, that's no reason to abdicate responsibility, either.
