In our world of technology, it seems only fitting that there is a way for tweens to keep a secret diary where no one can intrude. They are using the Internet.

What is a Digital Diary?

Digital Diary is a little piece of the Internet where tweens can download a personal diary to keep records of all their innermost secrets. Digital Diary can be simple with just basic information, or very complex to involve keeping calendars, phone numbers, create photo galleries, and much more. Tweens are so drawn to this type of diary because it totally replaces having to write journal entries down on paper, and gives them the opportunity to take advantage of today's technology. And just think...no more little hackers (siblings) trying to read their personal information. That sounds very attractive to tweens.

Is a Digital Diary Safe?

InfraDrive, Inc. claims that their digital diary is highly secure, which means that after you finish working in your diary, your pages are automatically encrypted so that your information cannot be stolen. If someone tries to enter your diary, they will only find random codes and cannot access your valuable information.

What are Some Other Features of a Digital Diary?

  • You are able to keep friends contact information handy.
  • It has the ability to send e-mails right from your digital diary.
  • You can create a photo gallery that can be secure and unable to be viewed by others.
  • It gives you the freedom to name your files how you like, unique to yourself.
  • You can personalize your digital diary with icons, fonts, colors, and more.
  • It has the ability to backup your data so you do not lose any important information.

How Much Does a Digital Diary Cost?

Download a free trial of Digital Diary for 15 days and take it for a spin first. If you like the product and feel it is safe your tween to use, then the cost for the full download is $18.95.

System Requirements

  • 800 MHZ Pentium 3 CPU

Summary

Tweens are really into Digital Diary as a means to keep personal information private. It is a relatively safe software package to use and functional enough for a 10-year-old to 12-year-old to understand and navigate through. Kids naturally like the ability to use today's technology and Digital Diary has made it easy for them to do so. Other brands of digital diaries vary in the options they offer, from very simple to very complex (good for business use, not just personal). You can check out more versions of digital diaries, as they range in price and functions they perform. Together, you and your tween can make a sensible decision.
