The Internet enables us to improve communication, erase physical barriers, and expand our education. Its absorption into our society has been extraordinary.
The “Net” touches nearly every part of our lives from how we apply for jobs and where we get our news, to how we find friends. A few Web sites have virtually replaced some things, like the encyclopedia and the phone book.
But with acceptance comes a decrease in skepticism. You may assume that the same laws or societal rules that protect your privacy in the physical world apply to the digital world as well. But the Internet remains largely unregulated and the policies governing it underdeveloped. As you continue to embrace the technology it is important to be aware that in many ways it is still uncharted territory.
Knowing how to navigate through cyberspace, even if that means proceeding at your own risk, is essential to using the Internet.
