NotSorry United States6722 Posts February 09 2012 15:49 GMT #24 Never bothered explaining it to my kids, just gave them all their computers at 4 and said figure shit out, much like I did myself when the net was still new (back at a time when 4people chat boards were the peak of technology) didn't take them very long before they started hitting up websites they saw on tv like pbskids to play mini games. Surprisingly knowing absolutely nothing of the internet my kids get less viruses and shit on their comps than my wife does...

Warillions United States215 Posts February 09 2012 16:03 GMT #33 my son is 5 years old with a good general idea of the internet and what it does for him in particular. he plays WoW, LoL and sc2 along with a ton of emulators and bf2 offline. this gives him a lot to base his idea of what the internet, let me start with our internet is wifi tether from my phone. he cant connect to the wireless unless im home. he knows his offline games play vs dumn predictable ai. he understands this. he knows when he connects to my wifi and the yellow explamation point disappears from his network connection he is "online" he says "on the internet" he knows he lets him play vs other real kids at there computers at places like his nana's and grandmas. he knows he connects to my phone. which sends signals to the tall towers which bounce signals to other towers and other kids. he knows his games update with the internet from his own experience with WoW and league of legends. id suggest not putting analogys in your discription. just simply the truth. and as they age and can comprehend more. feed the child more information., nvr too little info. they will supprise you how well they learn. and as for other things like shopping and gathering information online. i would tell my son. that every website which is a different page on the internet. is actually coming from someone elses computer anywhere else in the world. and there currently on the internet right now sending you the pics and all information from that website. each site is like a different computer on the internet somewhere in the world. some ppls computers have pictures of spongebob. others pics and videos of airplanes. games, anything and everything that has ever been made has information and pics saved on someones computer on the internet. a 5 year old with the above understanding would understand this as well. which is all true and unknown to 90% of internet users sadly lol

Palmar Iceland22633 Posts February 09 2012 16:21 GMT #40 I suppose I'd just explain how it works technically. Explain IP, DNS and such. I have no reason to believe my children won't be smart enough to know what's wrong and right on the internet. My daughter is too young to care about the internet though. Maybe in a few years.
