INTERNET COMMUNITY
We are all members of the INTERNET COMMUNITY. There are rules and responsibilities in the Internet Community, just like there are in the real world. Both communities have appropriate and inappropriate places in them. Just like in the real world, the inappropriate places on the Internet are unsafe and should not be visited.

1. What are considered inappropriate websites?

Inappropriate websites are websites that ask you for money, gambling websites, or websites that have R or X rated content (content that is inappropriate for kids).

BEWARE!! You can get to inappropriate sites on the Internet by clicking on site links that seem perfectly safe! If you do find yourself on an inappropriate site, the best way to handle it is to __immediately exit__. Sometimes websites prevent leaving by a process called looping. In this case, you might need to yank the machine's plug out of the wall in order to exit!

2. What is considered an appropriate e-mail?

An appropriate e-mail is an e-mail that has no:
 * chainmail
 * curse words
 * innapropriate content (words, pictures, links, or attatchments).
 * advertisements.

3. What is appropriate information to tell a cyber stranger?

Don't tell a cyber stranger anything that you wouldn't tell a stranger in person. They could be older or younger than they really are, or could try to be your friend, but they really want to harm you, especially with your personal information. (This includes pictures.) They sometimes would sell your personal information to advertising companies, or magazine companies so that you might get charged for it, or you might get too much spam.

4. What are the differences between the cyber community and the physical world?

A. You usually can not see the other person's face. B. You can't tell what their emotions are. C. You might not know who you're talking to unlike talking face to face.

5. Why shouldn't you give out personal infomation?

You shouldn't give out personal infomation because you can never be positive of who you're talking to. You could be talking to a 40 year old pretending to be your age.
