The Internet neither belongs to nor is controlled by any one person,
organisation or government.
This lack of central control is sometimes
portrayed
as anarchic and dangerous. But on the whole it offers huge benefits.
Unlike any other medium, the Internet gives everyone the chance
to be a publisher - to create and publish material for people to see
across the world. This is an unprecedented creative opportunity
for adults
and children alike.
The flip side of this is that other people may use the Internet in ways
which you may find offensive, or which are actually illegal. In using
the Net you need to know about the possible hazards, particularly for
children, and how you can avoid them.
