Internet: is it Safe ??

The internet has been around for quite a while. The origin of internet research dated back to the 1960s. As of 2009 one quarter of the human population uses the services of the internet.

There have been doubts of the internets safety through out the years. Lots of incidents revolve around the internet. Situations like social sharing sites, Facebook,Twitter,Google plus, Myspace (Jjks) as a site for sex predetors to stalk and harass people who use the site.

Also Con Artists and Scammers have been using the Internet to target people.On one occasion 58 year old divorcee Philip Hunt has been talking to a girl named Rose online on a dating site. She convinced him that she was pretty smart and desperately lonely, and also suffering from malaria. Unfortunately it was an elaborate scam costing him 82 thousand dollars and ultimately his life.

On some occasions the inthernet is a useful tool for everyone. Its and easy way to connect and communicate with friends and meet new people. Other sites like Wikepdia and Google are helpful sites for your homework.(Copy Paste (:). Other sites also give entertainment and enjoyment like Youtube, Blogger etc

Overall the internet is a very useful kind of tool.....if used in the right way, on Facebook make sure your security setting are saved to the right one. and be very careful when entering unkown sights. Have a firewall so it could prevent sites or viruses to enter your computer.
