passage 1
myspace, the social networking website, is
different ｆrom other websites which only provide
stories about other people. myspace is a place that
allows you to broadcast your own stories ａnd
personal information to as many people as you like.
started two years ago, it is a big source of
information for ａnd about american kids.
teenagers ａnd other parents feel very
differently about it. teens are rushing to join the
site, not sharing their parents’ worries. it
signals yet another generation gap in the digital
era.
for teenagers, it is a reliable network to keep
in touch with their friends. they will often list
their surnames, birthdays, after-school jobs,
school clubs, hobbies ａnd other personal
information.
“myspace is an easy way to reach just about
everyone. i don’t have all the phone numbers of my
acquaintances. but if i want to get in touch with
one of them, i could just leave them a message on
myspace,” said abby van wassen. she is a
16-year-old student at woodland hills high of
pittsburgh, pennsylvania.
parents on the other hand are seriously
concerned about the security problem of myspace.
“every time we hold a parents meeting, the
first question is always about myspace,” said kent
cates, who travels the country doing internet safety
seminars(研讨会). the national center for missing
ａnd exploited children has received at least 288
myspace- related complaints, according to mary beth
buchanan, a lawyer in pittsburgh.
“your profile on myspace shows all your
personal information to anyone on the web. ａnd
myspace even lists this information by birthplace
ａnd age. it’s like a free checklist for
troublemakers ａnd it endangers children,”
buchanan said.
