The Internet is a great place to have fun, to find a wealth of information, and it’s easily used to keep in touch with friends and family. There are lots of chatrooms, newsgroups and web sites to keep up with your favorite subjects, hobbies, music, sports, and much more. Millions of teenagers go online every day, and most are safe. In order to surf safely try to understand the risks and minimize them by following simple online safety rules.

1. The internet works in the same way like using the telephone, except that instead of a telephone company you have an Internet Service Provider or I.S.P company.
2. Then you connect your modem to the phone socket in your house by using a telephone line.
3. Open the web browser e.g Internet Explorer and ask your parents to sign up their password and user name.

Easy isn't it! And that's just the start of a world of fun and learning!
