I have outlined a lengthy series, but I think it best to begin with the basics. Most children learn to use the World Wide Web. The World Wide Web is a multimedia-based environment where millions of documents and pictures reside. The World Wide Web brings all kinds of information right to your own computer. There are millions of these World Wide Web servers hosting information around the world.
Children also learn to communicate with electronic mail.
Much like an electronic postal service, messages can be delivered all over the World via the Internet. The materials on the Internet are not monitored or regulated by any one agency or group. While the Internet offers a wide range of educational information, it also houses information that you may find objectionable. Indeed, pornographic and violent information exists on the Internet. In this series, we will explore ways to protect your children from this questionable material.
