Cyber bullying

This article on cyber bullying is more than interesting because of the comments it has drawn. It would appear teachers are the ones who need protecting. The comments are very clear in what form the bullying takes place for teachers. So is their a software programme to monitor that because there will soon be a tool to help parents monitor cyber bullying and mobile phone activity. Technology appears to have brought us a lot of things which just take away from good relationships and manageable ones. Technology can fritter a lot of time and energy which might be put into more meaningful and productive activities. Bullying is something we need to work on as a society and appropriate use of technology is part of that. A lot of us are drawn into destructive pathways because they are permitted and available. It's a game of uproar foisted upon us like the loud mobile phone users on public transport. Sometimes we are just worn away by working on the issues which technology has thrust upon us. Is it better or worse now?
