Twenty years 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 hasn't at least heard of it. In fact, many of us use it on a

regular basis and even have access to it from our homes! The \

network. A network is two or more computers connected together so that information can be

shared, 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 kind of 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 judgment and a little common sense.

mean it's good information, or even correct, for that matter. So you have to be sure that whoever

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, not even your name! And

just like you can't believe the information on every website out there, you can't rely on what

strangers you \

yourself to tell someone, someone else could do the same to you!
