Subdeacon Joe Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 that 70% of teens hide their internet activity from their parents! Ya think?!?!!? Actually, I'm kind of surprised it isn't higher. Only good news is that it wasn't a government funded study. http://www.cnn.com/2012/06/25/tech/web/mcafee-teen-online-survey/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 But the study was funded by McAfee which is promoting its own software. The numbers are believable but tainted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bama Red Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Yep, definite conflict of interest on McAfee's part. Surveys done this way don't have much validity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only good news is that it wasn't a government funded study. http://www.cnn.com/2012/06/25/tech/web/mcafee-teen-online-survey/index.html But yet the government study is from an organization that hides most of what it does from the public.

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I was never a teenager. I know nothing about the local police Department. I know noting about the curfew. I spent most of my youth studying. I was not interested in girls and sports. I have no guns. I told my parents everything I did. I am a sweet old buzzard. Well, one out of 8 ain't all that bad.
