Whatever
your age, the Internet is a great place to hang out. It's
not only fun, but it lets you keep in touch with friends and
family and provides an enormous amount of information. There
are lots of great educational sites as well as places to keep
up with your favorite sports, hobbies, music, and much more.
If you're a teen, we probably don't need to sell you on the
benefits of the Internet. Many of you know far more than your
parents or even teachers about the wonders of cyberspace.
Cyberspace is like a big city.
There are libraries, universities, museums, places to have
fun, and plenty of opportunities to meet wonderful people
from all walks of life. But, like any community, there are
also some people and areas that you ought to avoid and others
that you should approach only with caution.
By knowing the dangers and
how to avoid them, you can take advantage of all the positive
aspects of the Internet while avoiding most of its pitfalls.
