Internet Safety
Twenty 1)....ago, kids in school had never even heard of the
internet. Now, I'll bet you can't find a single person in your school who

even have access to it from our homes! The 'net' in 2)....really
stands for network. A 3)..is two or more computers connected
together so that information can be 4), or sent from one
computer to another. The internet is a vast resource for all types of
information. You may enjoy using it to do research for a school project,
downloading your favorite songs or communicating with friends and family.
Information is accessed through web pages that companies, organizations
and individuals create and post. It's like a giant bulletin board that the
whole world uses! But since anyone can put anything on the internet, you
also have to be careful and use your best judgement and a little
common sense.

on a bulletin board doesn't mean it's good information, or even correct, for
that matter. So, you have to be sure that whoever posted the 5)
..knows what they're talking about, especially if you're doing 6)
..! But what if you're just emailing people? You still have to be
very careful. If you've never met the person that you're communicating
with online, you could be on dangerous ground! You should never give
out any personal information to someone you don't know. And just like
you cant 7).the information on every website out there, you
can't rely on what strangers you 'meet' on the internet tell you either. Its
just like you could make up things about yourself to tell someone,
someone else could do the same to you!
