Today marks the 5th Safer Internet Day. Participation in this annual event has been
steadily growing, and last year over 120
organizations in 56 countries took part in Safer Internet Day
celebrations, organising local, national and pan-European events
ranging from safety sessions in schools and competitions for young
people to public meetings and conferences. Safer
Internet Day promotes safer use of online and mobile technologies (like
cell phones), especially among children and young people around the
world. Adults and elders are also advised to be aware of the risks of
using social networking sites to post images of their children,
grandchildren and younger family members. Unfortunately, these images
and the information provided in one's profile can provide pedophiles
and stalkers with enough data to put your loved ones at risk. So think
twice before you post that cute photo you took on your last visit.[ Read More]

The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) will be launching an intergenerational driver safety program
in Tennessee in January 2008. The class is designed for teens to share
with their grandparents or another person over 50. Teenagers can enrol
for free; older persons for a $10 fee. There is no test to take to be
accepted into the program. Participants will look at the problems and
driving habits both generations share. Each driver will be able to
evaluate where their problem areas are and then enhance their driving
skills accordingly. Currently, 36 states offer insurance discounts for
graduates of the AARP Driver Safety program, which has been running
since 1969. Find a Driver Safety Class near you (not all classes are intergenerational.)[ Read More]
