Gambling, gaming and grooming. Isn't it about time that you ask your

children about the dangers of the Too much, too young and too worried

about what their parents will say when they tell them about it. This

week, Click takes a look at what bothers children online.

Welcome to click . Ask any parent and they will be fixated on

shielding their children from the Congress of the Internet. Just as

much as children are focused on immersing themselves online. We

assume that children do not have the first clue on what is safe online.

But do they? We have been looking at some groundbreaking research that is

asking the kids would bothers them online.

If the Internet were a babysitter, you would not let it anywhere near

your house, let alone your kids. And yet we parked our children online

where they can end up enduring pop up pornography and violence.

Recently, headlines have been dominated by the availability of

images of child abuse. Feeding the fantasies of those who have gone on

to commit acts of abuse. We have got to get the volume of the images

down. We have got to get the number of people accessing them down. We

will never do it through conventional police methods. We need

better measures. Project on by the government, British Internet service

providers plan to block images of abuse. Some cite Google are donating

cash to organisations and developers tackling illegal content. These are

real, concrete measures. The emphasis on images of child abuse,

stranger danger, is obscuring other child online safety issues.

Researchers at the London School of Economics hit on the idea of asking

kids themselves what bothered them online. The survey 9-16 -year-olds

across 25 European countries. the things we asked was to tell us

in their own words what upset report that about what they saw the

Internet. Pornography was absolutely the number one concern. Quite

closely followed by violent content. The research does make difficult

reading. Children's innocent playtime intruded by very adult

content. But the news is not all bad. Childnet, which gives training

in online safety, sent me off to Willingdon Boys School. I sat in on

an IT course. The kids here have had a lot of help in how to negotiate

difficulties on the net. They know what they like and what to do when

they find something they do not. There are teacher is careful to

point out that they are never far away from something that they

perhaps do not want to see. They understand that terminology of just

two clicks away from seeing something unsuitable. That could be

anything. It could be nudity, a website that is to alter them. There

is gambling, dating websites. There should not be exposed to them.

are some technical fixes. In the end, however, it is really hard to

rein in a curious mind. Sometimes they are looking for something a bit

edgy, a bit experimental. And they find more than they bargained for.

Even if teenagers are looking for something, it does not mean they are

ready for what they find. To who should kids turn? Parents, friends?

I just close the window and tell my parents. If it is something like a

rude message that comes up to me in my e-mail, I just talk to them.

does not really affect me mentally. We just ignore it and do not think

about it. My mum and dad are getting stricter and stricter. Sometimes

when I want to go on Facebook, it says that the pages blocked. I tend

to just ignore it. We teach them to tell a trusted adult. That could be

myself as a teacher, it could be another teacher. It could be a

parent or a friend. Whoever their trust. Some people do not want to

speak to their mother or father about it, because it is

embarrassing. They want to speak to someone who will understand and not

whether top instantly. If they feel that the parent is going to

overreact, they will protect their privacy. They want to protect their

communication space. But they want somebody. Most say they would like

to be a parent or sibling. Anything that parents can do to make it a

non- judgemental conversation is going to be a benefit. Challenging

content bothers younger children, inappropriate contact upsets older

kids. But the value in the research is that underlining parents will be

hard to ban things online, but people can talk about it.

Now it is over to you. We would like to hear from parents and children

alike. What concerns you more? Content or contact? You can e-mail

us. Next up, this week's tech news. Yuan has launched its own national

e-mail service. Requiring each adult citizen with a postcode to sign up.

Many users are worried that the service will give the government

easy access to the data and increase its stranglehold on the Internet. In

other digital services in the past. It imposes one of the world 's most

strict international filters. The co-founder of Pirate Bay is planning

a totally secure a rival to a message. Hemlis, which means a

secret in Swedish, will use encrypted messaging. He says he is

making it in response to the government spying on user data.

However, Apple and WhatsApp say that users are already fully encrypted.

The investment target has been met through crowd funding in just two

days. An application has been provided that can alert patients to

infection before it becomes a problem. The nappies change colour

when they become soiled. Once scanned, they can provide data that

can whatever you're an infection is looming. The couple behind the

invention are attempting to raise $20-$50000.

The Duke of York is the first member of the Royal family to have a

Twitter account. It has been verified. A long-time embrace of

technology, according to a spokesperson, the prince hopes it

will let people know what he is doing.

A lot has been made recently of the new videogame consoles. And the big

budget titles that are set to push the graphics to the limit. These

games could cost upwards of �20 million to develop. It is no

surprise the players are sometimes charged �40 for a copy. But not all

games need to cost a fortune to make. Small, independent stooges can

sometimes come up with innovative new games at a fraction of the cost.

The question is, how much would you pay?

Flashback ten years and you could be forgiven for thinking that

Blockbuster gaming was the future. But with the rise of the smartphone,

everyone has now got an indie games console in their pocket. As a

result, the indie games market has exploded. It's like Minecraft are

challenging the big boys. Maybe there could be something to this

business after all. One company that is flying the flag in the games

developers everywhere is Humble Indie Bundle. They let you pick your

price for collections of indie games. You have got to put in at

least a penny, but if you pay more than average you get extra perks to

dubbed. -- divvied up. In contrast to the studios, almost all the games

have no copy protection. They are a DRM-free. With over $30 million in

sales so far, it is looking like a what you want could possibly be onto

something. I caught up with the guys behind it. One of the things that

always strikes me with these pay what you want ideas, something that

red had tried a furious ago, a lot of people are going to pay the

minimum. Do you find that? One of the big distinctions of what we do

is that we have a minimum. It changes the consumer's press pack.

The first decision is, am I willing to pay or not? If they are, they are

trying to encourage to feel good about what they are paying. The

charity is an intrinsic part of that. As a human being, you will see

what other people are paying and are influenced like that. ' or are

provided without digital protection. Why did you decide to do that?

mentality was that if you are not willing to pay a penny for the game,

you're not willing to pay the game. I was pretty excited about playing

in the soft title. I did not have my account. As a paying customer, I was

not able to play the game. That is the crux of what we were trying to

avoid. When you started including the big titles, the older titles, I

am sure the houses that developed those really reacted against any

kind of copy protection. That was a bit of a fight. It was the first

time we had anything with DRM. into resting for the retailers.

it. Continue being humble. If you make something into resting

affairs have been popping up around the world to give people a chance to

sell us their stock. We have been to the first minute to make a fairer.

Maker Faire is more than a group of people showing off home-grown

technology, it has become an international technology. Seven

years after its inception in San Francisco, where else, it is time

for London to hold this quirky take on a county fair. London's many

Maker Faire is less of an exhibition and more offered international

experience. For example, I cannot get in before I make my own name

badge. I'd better get to work. Not exactly cutting edge but the great

illustration of the ethos behind the culture. It is and more about

attitude. Also, I willingness to give it a try. 1000 attendees of all

ages and pocket size, the business is booming. I asked one man to

explain the appeal. As consumers, we buy products that people have solved

all the problems for. Sometimes it does not do everything you want. If

online. There are amazing online communities for this stuff. There is

a definite correlation between making things and making noise. From

renovated kids toys rigged up to make what can only be described as

contemporary music to the vegetable synthesiser. This uses something

called a Makey Makey device, crocodile clips at each end, but one

end to the board and the other end to anything even slightly

conductive. It uses a programming language Scratch to make the noises.

If you don't like vegetables? Try a banana. This is where the seemingly

frivolous becomes relevant. The technology becomes the basis for a

customised experience. The perfect example of this is the 3D printing

revolution. It is tailor made. This 3-D printer is hooked up to

Minecraft, the popular game. With the help of an Esker, we're going to

build something. -- an expert. We take the BBC local and print it out

from Minecraft world into the real world. Alyssa is quite a bit better

at Minecraft than I am. Once the design is built, pressing a button

also make other things. Today marks her second attempt to 3D printing

bust of computer legend Alan Turing by the end of the day. We have had

one attempt. We are doing a lot better today. The fact is, they can

print whatever they want down here. But enough printers material, the

culture fits making something to your requirements. The potential to

make custom things. Everything can be one. No one needs to have

something that is the same. It is amazing for applications like

medicine. No two people are the same. If you need to hip

replacement, your clipboard be the same as someone else's. With 3D

printing is, you can get a custom hip. If you fancy organising your
