Why is it important to be safe?

Asked by Wiki User

As you know, the internet is full of hackers, viruses, spyware and malware. If you wasnt protected, you will get all of these. As its categorized in the Child Internet Safety too, I will tell you the common issues about child safety on the web. Basically, spyware will create pop ups which will display all over your desktop. The pop ups are not nice, they will contain rude images, videos and sounds. The only way to block these out is to get the right protection. Also, you will have to be careful where the child is looking and what the child is doing, for example; chatting sites like facebook are a big problem. The child might be chatting to a stranger?. You can get softwares to filter out all the chat, dating, porn and any other sites you dont want your child to look, you can do this in your firewall also :).

How can you check the websites that your kids have been on?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You can check the websites they have been going on by looking at the history of your computer by clicking at the gold star at the top right of the internet screen, and then click on the button that says history with the clock next to it. If your computer does not have the gold star, which symbolizes the "favorites" or the websites that you've saved so you can go back and check it out, then you will have to find another way to access the history, but every computer has a history that can be accessed.

****One excellent website for kids is www.flight29dwn.webs.com copy and paste this website name as the URL address. It is a safe and fun environment for kids of all ages.

How do you put a parental block on adult websites on a Mac?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If your Mac OS is 10.5 (Leopard) then you can use Parental Controls in System Preferences. Select the Content tab and then tick limit access to adult sites. Use the Customize button to add specific criteria to your block. Websites already visited are listed in the Logs section. I am not sure if this can block websites in firefox, but if you only use safari, here's how:

1. Log in with an admin account

2. Open System Preferences, then click "Accounts"

3. If the padlock in the bottom left corner is closed, click on it, then type your password. otherwise, proceed to step 4

4. Select the account you want to put a Block on, then click "Parental Controls"

5. Mark the "Safari" checkbox

6. Log on to the account, and open Safari

7. In the bookmarks bar, click the icon of the book with the padlock over it, and enter your user name and password

8. Add to the Bookmarks Bar any sites which you want to allow.

You are done! If you try to open any site which is not in the bookmarks, you will get an error screen, with a button that you can click to create a bookmark for the site after entering your (admin) username and password You can use a parental control software web site porn filter to achive this. Safe Eyes is a nice choice. See the link below.

Who does the Internet benefit?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Hi

Its an interesting question.

the technology of the internet has been in development since the early 80's but it was not until the early '90's that it began to be workable as a world wide network.

No 'one' person or entity 'owns' or 'controls' the internet if that is what you are driving at. The internet is a massive network of computers with no one 'source' of ownership or control.

having established this, in answer to your question, I think it benefits anyone who is able to make some form of productive use of it. As to 'how' it benefits its users, I think you would find the answers to that question as diverse as the uses that people derive from their participation within it.

a common misconception about 'the internet' is that it is what you see on your web-browser. In actual fact, the www is only a component of what the 'net' actually is. the internet is, in fact, capable of a lot more than simply web services and you have to include things like email, ftp, peer to peer, voip, etc.

For more information, there is an excellent wiki article on 'the internet', and there is some interesting thinking on the social implications of web 2.0 (google: what is web 2.0)

Is it safe for you to post picture of yourself online?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They'll always be risks as you don't know who might see them, but on most social network sites you can choose who can and can't see them.

Whatever you put on, and wherever you put them eg. MySpace or youtube, just make sure it's decent or you'll attract the wrong attention.

What are dangers of the internet for children?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It doesn't have to be, but teens may be more vulnerable to online predators (like adults looking for sex with minors) and various other scams.

Safety rules are similar to elsewhere in society:

  • Don't give personal info like full name, address, phone number, bank account number or email to strangers
  • Never reveal passwords
  • Don't send money
  • Careful with nude pictures/webcam shots of yourself - you can't know if someone in a private conversation stores the images and spread them all over the internet, and they may come back to haunt you twenty years later. This goes even if you know the person on the other end, like a class mate.
  • If you are to meet an internet acquaintance in person, make sure to meet in a public place and bring someone else along

What should you not say to strangers online?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

For one, absolutely DO NOT give your address, phone number, or anything that could be used to track you. Using a first name is okay. A state is okay. A city or town is crossing the border a bit. I would refrain from doing that. Just be smart, and youll be fine. Archer5
