Time for the cowards and their sound bones to get moving

Coward man keep sound bone.
This is a saying that probably justifies the enthusiastic reluctance of some people towards certain contemporary innovations; especially those computer technology-driven cyberspace-based social networking platforms. Laggards like me are curious of the fact that anything is possible with your images or texts. Of course, some say that if you have nothing to hide, what is the problem? That is the problem!
The potential for reputation damage is not in what you make public but what others can make of it. And in the contemporary public domain court rooms where the penetration is so deep the onus is not on others to prove your guilt but on you to prove your innocence. Guilt is already the starting point. All reputations are already constructed around guilt. What a pity!
I believe technology is meant to advance man's relationship in and with his environment. One would hope that to advance would mean moving in a positive direction but there are too many examples where to advance is synonymous with destruction. Yes, there is world of good happening and as an optimist I am happy that new and innovative ways are being found to use information communication technologies, for example, to improve the world's knowledge base especially among children.
However, we cannot dismiss the fact that Internet safety for children has become a big problem because some animals among us have decided to use the technology in a negative direction. This is of great concern. And so, it is time for those whose cowardice have kept them sound to make a move and join the struggle to keep our children safe be that in the natural world, socially constructed world, or the virtually mediated world.
After all, early birds may catch the most worms but nothing stops those with sound bone from getting into the action even at this late stage. Sometimes all a crisis needs are fresh eyes, fresh legs, and a new perspective. Sometimes all it needs are the sound bones. Now is that time. Time to help prepare a safe and secure world for our children.
