Naturally my classmates thought it was great.
This was in the days before school firewalls. :D
My school blocks everything, nothing surprises me.
Wikipedia does have some "risky images". I typed in sun-tanning and got an eyeful. Also researching sexual diseases on wiki is not fun.
My school district hasn't blocked forums.eyesonff or wikipedia, and that's all I could ever ask for.
(However, a new thing this year is that I think the computers are rejecting the cookies that let you log in, so I'm stuck as a guest. D: )
When I was in school, nothing was blocked on our computers and college allows us to view anything we need. >;D
The first search I ever ran had "The Hottest Sex Site On The Net" as it's first result. I was searching for tigers or something.
My work has nothing banned. Sometimes I wish they would ban stuff, but we're just expected to not use the computers for anything other than work related purposes. Actually, we're more than expected to as we had to sign a paper saying that we wouldn't be. Or, you could possibly get fired.
at my school they banned myspace wiki and youtube
anything with the word blog journal forum game and similar are blocked. Keyword filters are terrible.
My School ended up banning the entire Internet.
"If you can't sort it, get rid of it", they said. =/
I seem to recall a story:
A second grade teacher is in the computer lab with her class and she is teaching them how to use the internet or guiding the class to a certain site (the latter, i think). She accidentally leads the whole second grade class to a porn site.
You kids today are lucky. Back when I went to school, we didn't even have the internet! We had to read books to get our information. And we had to walk seven miles uphill both ways in the snow barefoot!
Grumble grumble.
(My school didn't block anything. I used to visit Rotten everyday!)
I know my work has bash.org and oldfriends.co.nz banned. Sucks. :(
I haven't come across any site that's blocked at my uni.
Lucky? My school provided us with BBC Micro computers to help us pass our Information Technology courses! The school budget didn't allow them to buy decent computers 'till the year 2000. It was an absolute joke...Quote:
