A short monologue (YouTube video "Driver's Ed for the Internet" by Nick Stumbo) arguing that trying to completely protect children from the Internet is the wrong goal. The speaker draws an analogy to driving—noting that the average driver is involved in about four car accidents in a lifetime—to claim that both driving and Internet use are inevitable and that the focus should be on educating children to use them safely rather than avoiding them.

The speaker says that on average every driver is involved in four car accidents within their lifetime.

When on average, every driver is involved in four car accidents within their lifetime. You see, both of these questions are understandable. But. But driving and the Internet are inevitable. Avoiding cars or the Internet should never be our goal. Rather, our goal should be educating the coming generations on how to properly use them.
