It was still summer when this week started. Now look at it. I’ll need to dig out my thick Pjs if it gets any colder.
Yesterday was one of busiest in Wot’s FaceTube with people of all ages popping in to have a look what was going on. People come for all sorts of reasons, they’ve heard it on the radio, seen it on the web or read about it in the papers. Some are just passing through Norwich on holiday like the family from Nottingham who were curious as to what was going on and ended up staying for nearly an hour.
The adults have been blown away by the knowledge and communication skills our experts have and some have had their preconceptions about social networking being the slippery slope to the end of conversation well and truly thwarted.
There are still some who say that they just don’t get it and those who express fears about internet security, especially when it come to children. We’re not here to ‘convert’ them or suggest that the Internet is a safe place for young teens(and younger) to be left alone on. But if you do have doubts or worries, this is an opportunity to speak to the youngsters themselves and ask them about why they use Facebook and YouTube and how safe they feel.
One or visitors do go and talk to them and have gained a better insight into what the children use the Internet for, but others seem to be reluctant to have their own views challenged – especially by children, which is a shame really as that’s what part of Wot’s FaceTube is about.
Wot’s FaceTube in in Fusion at The Forum in Norwich until Saturday. You don’t need to book and it’s all free. We’re open Today and tomorrow 10.00 – 16.30.
