Digital Information and Communication
At the end of the last century, the information has "turned" into Reserved literary property, publication prohibited without written permission from the publisher., Personal Computers have "fired" typewriters, e-mails and letters and everything moves "in packets" on the network of networks, Internet, the largest computer network in the world.
The change has affected all ages, without distinction of nation, sex or religion, with social and political upheavals related to the internet and new forms of censorship, up to the present day, in which among the users of the technology, it is precisely adolescents and increasingly the children are the protagonists.
Digital technologies have come into our lives, they also involved multinational companies at all levels and degrees, that have had to adapt, making it workable, also for their purposes, the new computer technology.
The Cupertino house represents the paradigmatic case of those who in recent years have taken over the richest slice of the market globally, today he photographs the company with the most significant capitalization.
He always had a penchant for protecting children, placing it among its objectives with encouraging results for the production and diffusion of the "devices" and in this protection other parental associations have joined, such as Fearless Parent, (http://fearlessparent.org/) that they target, the creation of a computer environment suitable for minors.
Fearless Parent to make Apple an accomplice, recently sent an open letter to Tim Cook, on the "question" of children and the products of the multinational.
Regarding this remarkable expansion of the devices, Fearless Parent goes directly to Tim Cook, the multinational's leader, so that Apple's unreachable resources are used to also implement child protection. The good performance of the “Apple” branded devices by minors is particularly high in the USA.
The accumulation of such great economic resources, according to the organization, assumes great responsibility towards the consumer and especially for those who need more defenses. L’invito a Tim Cook da Fearless Parent, it is clearly, to pray to Apple to send a concrete signal and support related projects between children and "Apple" products, and to take advantage of its huge financial opportunities, to protect the most vulnerable.
Apple's attention to children after various studies, gave parents the opportunity to take advantage of increasingly advanced tools.
The first step for us instead begins in protecting the child, by creating the specific Apple ID. Let's start with the Apple function called "Family". Everyone who has access to this feature, must have your Apple ID.
Children below 13 years cannot create without the consent of the parent. The Apple ID can be created for the child and will be automatically introduced into the whole family.
It is rather easy to implement restrictions for children, from any IOS device by accessing the "Settings" click on "General" then click on "Restrictions", or the opposite from the Mac computer, by accessing the "System Preferences" click on "Censorship Controls".
These settings limit the use of features like FaceTime, Camera and Safari and pre-established social media applications from parents, besides obviously they will have to decide the contents suitable for minors (of this we will have the opportunity to deepen).
On the other side, Apple, has provided the option "Ask to buy", which allows parents to review and accept purchases, including those in the Apple virtual store and the downloads your children want. This feature is enabled for users under the age of 13 years.
By deactivating the "Ask to buy" function, parents will only receive purchase information.
