What are the real dangers of the Internet?


In addition to the dangers for the computers and the personal data, which can be easily avoided by having a Macintosh, a strong antivirus and not buying on-line, the main dangers of the Internet are: the access to pornography and violence for children, the sexual predators for women and children hiding themselves behind a false identity on the social networks, the cyberbullying and so on.

Let’s talk about the children.

There are easy solutions to avoid these dangers:

-       Not having Internet at home
-       Not having any computer or mobile phone
-       To live in China
-       Not having any children

More seriously, one solution could be not to put any computer in the children’s room but to have one family computer in a room where the parents can watch their children without having to supervise every move they make on the Internet. It’s also important to talk with them about these subjects and explain them that violence in movies and pornography are different from the reality and to have confidence that they are intelligent enough to understand that some contents are harmful for hem. And, most of all, to always be aware that real life is more dangerous than the virtual world.
