The teachers can closely monitor computer screens to ensure that children are not visiting indecent sites.
A problem also exists on the internet when searching for information. The internet searches for information by typing key word into a search engine such as Info-seek, Excite, Lycos, etc or into directories such as yahoo . each often an educator or student may only employ one search engine such as Lycos to obtain information when the other search engine might contain better sites.
