I still remember when my then 7 year old showed me he was smarter than me....humbling is an inappropriate word. Anyway, I thought I was pretty computer savvy, and he again pulled one over on me. You know how the schools have site blocking software on all their computers? For the most part, most kids don't seem to mess with it, but I guess there are always a few that don't leave things alone. I'm guessing my son is one of them but with good intentions only. My son ended up being able to access most of the sites he access at home....which is why I let this one go....he tells me he checks email and does his stories on Fan Fiction....but I still let him know I am watching him! Here's how to access your favorite sites when you really need to.
Amazingly enough, most of these site blocking software packages do not take into account the mobile version of the website. So, if you want to check your mail at Yahoo or Hotmail, and your work or school computer won't let you visit those sites, type in the mobile version of it (find the link on the homepage of your favorite site) or type in "m" or "mobile" after the "www" on the address.
No, I'm not telling you to do something dumb, immoral or illegal or go to sites you probably shouldn't go to or use up your employer's time....or your schoolwork time (please ask mom or dad first)....just sharing a little something to make you...hopefully...more productive in the long run!
