Controlling Children Using Computer

Computer and internet are useful as well as powerful. Information about

health and safe usage of computer and Internet, especially for children, should be
owned by each family. Computer connected to internet is powerful way to
socialize with others. It can be good but also bad effect. Recently we hear a lot of
children get the advantage of social networking sites but we often see the news
about the disadvantage of it for children. Healthy and safety of computer and
Internet usage should continue to be campaigned.

The role of parent in assisting and directing children in using computer is

very necessary. Installation of software monitor such as key logger which has
function to watch and note all activities relating to keyboard usage is helpful but
not enough to protect children from potential harms. Children tend to hide what
they have done in front of the computer to their parent. They see that all of they
have done are their privacy and no one may know.

We can not prevent children from using computer because it is

multifunctional. However, many parents worry about what their kids do in front
of the computer; whether they are doing homework or even just playing games.
Or spending all time to surf internet which is the materials do not fit with his age.
There is a tendency, especially teenagers, want to become acquainted with many
strangers out side. The lack parental supervision of children’s activities is likely to
pose a potential danger to them. So parental monitor against the use of computers
needs to be done from time to time.

Mengontrol Anak Menggunakan Komputer

Komputer dan internet sangat berguna sekaligus bertenaga. Informasi

tentang kesehatan dan penggunaan komputer dan internet yang aman, terutama
untuk anak-anak, harus dimiliki oleh masing-masing keluarga. Komputer yang
terhubung ke internet adalah cara ampuh untuk bersosialisasi dengan orang lain.

9
 Bisa bagus tapi juga berpengaruh buruk. Baru-baru ini kita mendengar banyak
anak mendapatkan keuntungan dari situs jejaring sosial namun kita sering melihat
berita tentang kerugiannya untuk anak-anak. Sehat dan amannya penggunaan
komputer dan internet harus terus dikampanyekan.

Peran orang tua dalam membantu dan mengarahkan anak dalam

menggunakan komputer sangat diperlukan. Pemasangan monitor perangkat lunak
seperti keylogger yang berfungsi untuk melihat dan mencatat semua aktivitas
yang berkaitan dengan penggunaan keyboard sangat membantu namun tidak
cukup untuk melindungi anak-anak dari bahaya potensial. Anak-anak cenderung
menyembunyikan apa yang telah mereka lakukan di depan komputer ke orang tua
mereka. Mereka melihat bahwa semua yang telah mereka lakukan adalah privasi
mereka dan tidak ada yang tahu.

Kita tidak bisa mencegah anak menggunakan komputer karena

multifungsi. Namun, banyak orang tua khawatir tentang apa yang anak-anak
mereka lakukan di depan komputer; apakah mereka mengerjakan pekerjaan
rumah atau bahkan sekedar bermain game. Atau menghabiskan sepanjang waktu
untuk berselancar internet yang bahannya tidak sesuai usianya. Ada
kecenderungan, terutama remaja, ingin berkenalan dengan banyak orang asing di
luar. Kurangnya pengawasan orangtua terhadap aktivitas anak cenderung
menimbulkan bahaya bagi mereka. Jadi monitor orang tua terhadap penggunaan
komputer perlu dilakukan dari waktu ke waktu.

Tourism Benefit on Local People

What is the benefit of tourism for local people? Well, Tourism is now a huge
contributor to the economies of most countries. Tourism industries can bring money, job
vacancy and advancement especially to developing regions. However, this money often
goes into the pockets of foreign investors, and only rarely benefits for local people.

Tourism industries will not give much benefit for local people if, for example,
multinational hotel chains don't care about the surrounding nature when they build new
hotels. This can cause many social, cultural and geographical problems. Some local
people may get job and money from that International hotel chain. However in case of
missing that opportunity, some of them still have their own environment.

Moreover, some facts show that tourists tend to go, visit and spend their money in
restaurants, bars and even luxury hotels of that multinational chains. They less go to such
places; restaurant, bar, hotel, shop which are owned by local people. This can prevent the
local people's business from becoming even larger.

Most important thing, tours or excursions of tourism have little effect on nature.
Even it can disrupt or destroy ecosystems and environments, and if it does, the local
people will get the risk.

So the local government policies should be put in place to ensure that tourism will
make the benefit spreading widely. The policies should guarantee that tourism will not
cause any harm to any local people or places.

Manfaat Pariwisata pada Masyarakat Lokal

Apa manfaat pariwisata bagi masyarakat lokal? Pariwisata Nah, sekarang menjadi
kontributor besar terhadap perekonomian sebagian besar negara. Industri pariwisata dapat
membawa uang, lowongan dan kemajuan terutama untuk daerah-daerah berkembang.
Namun, uang ini sering masuk ke kantong investor asing, dan jarang manfaat bagi
masyarakat setempat.

11
 Industri pariwisata tidak akan memberikan banyak manfaat bagi masyarakat lokal
jika, misalnya, jaringan hotel multinasional tidak peduli tentang alam sekitarnya ketika
mereka membangun hotel baru. Hal ini dapat menyebabkan banyak masalah sosial,
budaya dan geografis. Beberapa orang lokal mungkin mendapatkan pekerjaan dan uang
itu jaringan hotel Internasional. Namun dalam kasus hilang kesempatan itu, beberapa dari
mereka masih memiliki lingkungan mereka sendiri.

Selain itu, beberapa fakta menunjukkan bahwa wisatawan cenderung untuk pergi,
mengunjungi dan menghabiskan uang mereka di restoran, bar dan hotel bahkan
kemewahan yang rantai multinasional. Mereka kurang pergi ke tempat-tempat seperti;
restoran, bar, hotel, toko yang dimiliki oleh orang-orang lokal. Hal ini dapat mencegah
bisnis masyarakat lokal dari menjadi lebih besar.

Yang paling penting hal, wisata atau kunjungan pariwisata memiliki sedikit efek
pada alam. Bahkan dapat mengganggu atau merusak ekosistem dan lingkungan, dan jika
tidak, masyarakat akan mendapatkan risiko.

Jadi kebijakan pemerintah daerah harus diletakkan di tempat untuk memastikan

bahwa pariwis ata akan membuat saling penyebaran secara luas. Kebijakan harus
menjamin bahwa pariwisata tidak akan menyebabkan kerusakan apapun kepada orang
lokal atau tempat
