The Internet isn’t a safe of a place as people think; there are many precautions you need to take to be safe when using it. Online forums like a blog website can be dangerous. Be careful about what you write on those, you never know who is reading it and what they are going to do. Posting photos of yourself is dangerous, people can see you and know what you look like and use your profile information to find out more about you. Online, people experiment with different personalities, be careful what you let out about yourself and what you tell them, you never really know who these people are, if they’re lying or if they are telling the truth. If there is ever someone perverted or is creeping you out, block them and report them to the social server! We do not like these people, because they are untrustworthy. If someone on the forum wants to meet you in person, don’t do it unless you have people with you and have informed your family. You never know what could happen if you were on your own with this person.
When it comes to websites, there are a lot of not secure ones. Never ever give out your credit information unless you know that the source that you are using is very reliable. We don’t want your information to be used by someone else. But there’s one thing that’s more annoying than anything in this entire cyber world; pop up’s. They’re annoying, and they are unsafe. Clicking on these pop up’s can lead people to different pages such as pornographic websites, or even a one way ticket to getting a virus. Luckily there is something developed call an anti-spyware, helps keep your computer free of viruses and free of pop-ups! But what’s even better, is now there is some Internet company’s like MSN or AOL have developed parental controls for their Internet, so adults have control over what sites kids can access. Keep your kids safe, at home and on the Internet, talk to them about the dangers, and plan the strategies to keep them safe.
