Dear Morrisa,
While the Internet has many pros with social networks, videos and school work, there are also some bad aspects of the digital world. There’s cyberbullies, privacy invasion, identity theft and many more cons that make up the internet. These things can really mess up your and everyone elses lives, so just follow the basics and you’ll go a long way.
The first and very important aspect of the internet is Cyberbullies. The best way to deal with Cyberbullying would probably be to just avoid it in general. If you think about it, if you avoid the bullies all the time, theres no possible way for them to bully you. Now, if you for some reason can’t avoid the bullies, you have to resist the urge to fight back. If you just ignore them then they have no reason to fight because they think that you’re not even on the network. Theres one more rule that you should know; don’t do it yourself! Now, some people might say that you could get revenge by writing them back with more mean things. I’ve been telling you how to not get bullied, so you’d better not do it to other people.
Although the internet is very useful, you can get hacked and get your identity stolen. Privacy has always been important through time and can easily be breached by hackers and thieves, But there is always a way to avoid your privacy being violated. You never, ever should give a website your full name or real birth date, because its just too easy to get tampered with. Another rule you should follow would be to not post any photos that would verify where you live who your parents are and how old you are. Also, you should stay away from websites that don’t have the secure lock sign, because if it doesn’t then it could hack into your computer and get your information. Finally, you should never use your birthday as your username or password. It’s way too easy to guess and way too many people do it.
I’ve been telling you all the bad things about the internet, but there are some good aspects about it also like Netflix, Youtube and Facebook. With Netflix you can stream movies and TV shows to your computer anytime you want. Youtube is great, but it has some downsides. Different from Netflix, Youtube doesn’t rate its videos. Thats why you have to be careful about what you watch because you could stumble upon something inappropriate. On the flip side its a great tool to find videos of your favorite athletes and performers. Lastly, theres Facebook. Its a great way to keep in touch with your friends while at home. Some people might say that you would get addicted to it, but you can keep a schedule on how much time you spend on Facebook and discipline yourself by giving yourself a motivation to get of the computer.
The internet is a great tool for everyone to use and will get easier to use as technology advances. Now that you know how to use the Internet, you can use it the the fullest extent.
