The seriousness of Internet privacy cannot be underestimated. A few weeks ago I read a story about a child that was kidnapped by a person he met over the Internet. Although there is no way to completely prevent such things from happening the MIC can help.

Saved sessions on the hard drive will let parents know what their children have been viewing. The MIC will come with account options that allow the administrator PC to monitor plenty of the options. The MIC could boot to a screen that informs the user about posting private information on the Internet. With the main idea behind the MIC being streamlined basic PC operations it would be wise to warn the consumer about the dangers of the Internet.

The MIC cannot do to much to protect the virtual privacy of the user. Yet, as a parent I think it would be important to let everyone know just how much privacy they have in the virtual world. People should also petition for more protection in the virtual realm. The issue becomes how much limitations do we want placed on the free world of the Internet.
