(Lehigh Valley, PA) June 21, 2007 Rapidly advancing technology has it's pros and cons. It can allow us to work faster and smarter. But it can also pose great danger to our children.

In light of the ever increasing exposure of Internet predators, and the responsibility we have to keep our children safe, you are cordially invited to attend:

Be More . . . Tech Savvy is a free workshop hosted by WLVT PBS 39 to help keep children safe.

I hear they are doing the workshop so you stop pulling back muscles Bernie. You took the comment "heavy lifting" too far and it clearly has to stop. The internet is simply dangerous to your safety.

Please consider attending the workshop.

LVDem, I love the comments, bad and good. I am so impressed by the diversity of opinions in our neighborhood, and those comments are what make blogs interesting.
