Online Risks

by EnglishArticle .info


The recognition of threats to children in cyberspace is an important first step in developing constructive solutions and a plan of action that fosters protective and productive learning experiences. Without Internet safety, children’s vulnerability to the dark side of computer technology is exacerbated by the relative degree of online anonymity coupled with the lack of system-imposed restraints. Although the details of the risks are discomforting, it is important

Moreover, Internet safety promotes the socially relevant use of digital media, including mobile phones, online games, instant messaging, and other emerging online technology.
