The CEO of the portal while launching the new browser said in spite of the risks involved, it is necessary for the children to explore the vast potential of the Net. This is no doubt very true as millions of children make use of the benefits of computers at home and school every day.

It has become a toy in the hands of our children with unlimited possibilities. Experts, however, have started expressing concern that the unbridled use of computers can pose health hazards for children. Like all things man-made computers too have their limitations.
