Sen. Clinton: Today's "electronic village" dangerous for kids
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Arguing new technologies make it difficult for parents to monitor their children's lives, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-New York, says today's "electronic village" complicates the task of raising a child.
Clinton's words come in an updated version of her book "It Takes a Village" -- re-released in a new hardcover edition Tuesday 10 years after it was first published when Clinton was first lady. "When 'It Takes a Village' was published, the Internet was largely the province of scientists; no one owned an iPod or a PSP; and cell phones weighed as much as brick. Innovations are now coming at an exponentially faster pace, and media saturates our kids' lives as never before," Clinton writes in the new edition. Clinton also assesses the impact of emerging global threats on children around the world. "Beyond assembling the local support team it takes to raise a child well, we need to come together globally to create conditions that provide all children everywhere hope and opportunity," Clinton writes. Clinton isn't the only potential 2008 presidential candidate out with a new book. Seven other potential candidates have either recently published books or have book releases upcoming.
