Looking back on my own childhood, unfiltered internet access really changed my life. Yes, I got into some things that weren't appropriate for my age, but it also turned me on to programming and tech in general. In the end I turned that into a lucrative, successful career. I can honestly say that internet access was more of a factor in my life than school. In light of that, I give my kids the same thing. Instead of filters, I just keep logs of network traffic and occasionally grep them for keywords that I think might warrant discussion.
