Description :“The internet is a wonderful resource to research school reports, communicate with friends, and play interactive games but online access has its hazards for the young. Just one wrong keystroke, an accidental or curious click can expose a child to negative experiences with a damaging impact. Every second 30,000 people are viewing pornography. The average age of first exposure is 11. Let not one of them be your child. You can prevent it now!” – Josh McDowell
One of life’s challenges faced by today’s youth is the growing wave of virtual crime and new types of behavioral addictions. Young people today are characterized by great openness and hence great vulnerability, lacking practical life experiences that would help them deal with unnecessary exposure. Instead of sheltering them, the focus should be on educating and increasing the awareness of this imminent danger, leading them to an increased self-discipline and self-control they need in everyday life. This book introduces the elementary principles of computer and internet safety to children and helps them to better understand the dangers of unlimited and uncontrolled internet access.
