Controlling Children Using Computer

Computer and internet are useful as well as powerful. Information about health and safe usage of
computer and Internet, especially for children, should be owned by each family. Computer
connected to internet is powerful way to socialize with others. It can be good but also bad effect.
Recently we hear a lot of children get the advantage of social networking sites but we often see the
news about the disadvantage of it for children. Healthy and safety of computer and Internet usage
should continue to be campaigned.

The role of parent in assisting and directing children in using computer is very necessary. Installation
of software monitor such as key logger which has function to watch and note all activities relating to
keyboard usage is helpful but not enough to protect children from potential harms. Children tend to
hide what they have done in front of the computer to their parent. They see that all of they have done
are their privacy and no one may know.

We can not prevent children from using computer because it is multifunctional. However, many
parents worry about what their kids do in front of the computer; whether they are doing homework or
even just playing games. Or spending all time to surf internet which is the materials do not fit with his
age. There is a tendency, especially teenagers, want to become acquainted with many strangers out
side. The lack parental supervision of children’s activities is likely to pose a potential danger to them.
So parental monitor against the use of computers needs to be done from time to time.

Terjemahan – Mengontrol Anak Menggunakan Komputer

Komputer dan internet sangat berguna sekaligus bertenaga. Informasi tentang kesehatan dan
penggunaan komputer dan internet yang aman, terutama untuk anak-anak, harus dimiliki oleh
masing-masing keluarga. Komputer yang terhubung ke internet adalah cara ampuh untuk
bersosialisasi dengan orang lain. Bisa bagus tapi juga berpengaruh buruk. Baru-baru ini kita
mendengar banyak anak mendapatkan keuntungan dari situs jejaring sosial namun kita sering
melihat berita tentang kerugiannya untuk anak-anak. Sehat dan amannya penggunaan komputer
dan internet harus terus dikampanyekan.

Peran orang tua dalam membantu dan mengarahkan anak dalam menggunakan komputer sangat
diperlukan. Pemasangan monitor perangkat lunak seperti keylogger yang berfungsi untuk melihat
dan mencatat semua aktivitas yang berkaitan dengan penggunaan keyboard sangat membantu
namun tidak cukup untuk melindungi anak-anak dari bahaya potensial. Anak-anak cenderung
menyembunyikan apa yang telah mereka lakukan di depan komputer ke orang tua mereka. Mereka
melihat bahwa semua yang telah mereka lakukan adalah privasi mereka dan tidak ada yang tahu.

Kita tidak bisa mencegah anak menggunakan komputer karena multifungsi. Namun, banyak orang
tua khawatir tentang apa yang anak-anak mereka lakukan di depan komputer; apakah mereka
mengerjakan pekerjaan rumah atau bahkan sekedar bermain game. Atau menghabiskan sepanjang
waktu untuk berselancar internet yang bahannya tidak sesuai usianya. Ada kecenderungan,
terutama remaja, ingin berkenalan dengan banyak orang asing di luar. Kurangnya pengawasan
orangtua terhadap aktivitas anak cenderung menimbulkan bahaya bagi mereka. Jadi monitor orang
tua terhadap penggunaan komputer perlu dilakukan dari waktu ke waktu.
