According to a recent study, more than half of all American homes are now equipped with personal computers. Many of these computers have been connected to the Internet, which enables the user to communicate with a global network of businesses, organizations, and ordinary citizens.

The Internet has a number of important uses, particularly for children, who can access educational information on virtually every topic imaginable.

The best way to protect them is to learn about how the Internet works and to lay down a series of guidelines for your children to follow anytime they go “on-line.”

The tips found on this Web site will help promote safe Internet usage in your home.

Sincerely

Thomas Dart
