Only work and no play will make your child dull. But only playing and no work will bring in devastation. But again the fifty-fifty scenario will make him jack of all trades and master of non. Now if like two decades before I would have been a school boy the plrthro of emotions would have been different but the truth is how much time a person should spent on leisure/co-cirricular activities follows the same set of arguements from time to time since ages. The beggining of social platform from Orkut to Facebook to Insta Reels to Dark and Mariana Trench Web had been remarkable and the ground reality is that it is not a welcoming arena where everyone is invited to share their thoughts and ideas. A highly charged up atmosphere that causes a discomfort to the internet users and abundance of restrictions also is followed by a competitive structure that always tries to expel the online writers to leave the platform only never to return. The online mailing system which initialky resisted junk and spam mail has now alltogether distant itself from this discussion and question beforehand is how many offices or instituitions are using online mailing platform to send and recieve official letters.
Here we have to keep in mind that the senators are using the legal remedy to provide the online security to the kids. Their are lots and lots of online teaching websites that now a days are considered necessary for the overall individualistic development of child. Concept based learning has finally found it's niche and even after so much effort it is still at present is marked with those segments that could harm your child the process of their development is now to be put under matter of investigation. As I could tell you that these spotted webcasts will also readily defend themselves that being governed by experts we do not venture in uncharted spheres. So on the whole the legal gaurdian can found themselves in tight spit that wether this symbiotic relationship is in actual terns is not a selection based process from where the unknown neighbourers are luring their child for dubious roles in society. From the preseption of surroundings one thing is sure that governmental agencies can not seep in through the whole online/internet facility how so ever hard they try because from the beggining their approach was to tackel all together different elements to use internet facility to be used as medium for spreading their propaganda. Now will the investigating agencies or law makers will say that all along they missed ir ignored boigeyman as their were spellboynd to entrap nit highlight which could have been much more worthy. They have drained their ebergy so very much that the close vigil will ve only on those webcasters that had invited them to do so. I do not know the status of blame game that must be taking place within in which arguements unsurmountable must have been given by people among the colored and painted communities that are to resolve their own personnel intrests. If this is true that time wasted and the cyst firmed by those who were to nabbed has caught the security giving segment napping. Now when nobody is innocent and heavy discussion has already been taken which reconfirmed the hypocracy of those who reap the goodness but claim to be simple. When a class outcast knows that lawmakers are not dutybound I doubt the purpouse of saying caught unawared. Straightaway this time the creaters of loop are given task to build fort.
