Internet, WWW and Mosaic can be a big opportunity for today's children to escape TV and Videogames addiction and to learn to interact among themselves and with the grown-up.
An equal opportunity universe, made of interesting information, is waiting for them: they can actively contribute to the creation of a world of their own where it is possible to make friends and compare ideas and experiences.
Unfortunately the access to Internet and its tools is virtually denied to children in many countries.
If We dont want the next generation of network users to be a nintendo-like generation it's time to act, immediately.
This Action, active from April 1994, aims at increasing the consciousness of this problem. We believe in fact that a wide spread awareness on this limiting situation is a major step towards its solution.
It is addressed to anybody, not only parents.
If You agree on that, wholly or partially, You can join the action in different ways:
|
If You want to do more spend an hour of Your time with a child
watching together the Children Page clicking in your flag.
If You wish you can leave us a message.

This action is due to an idea of Leopoldo Benacchio and Giuseppe Caravita
during the Open Discussion at the First Topical Meeting
on WWW and beyond on Physiscs research and Application
organized by CERN and INFN in
San Miniato (14-18 Marzo 1994).
Thanks are due to Andrea Baruffolo and Carla Fabris for the realization
