Evolution of the Internet (Issues Today Vol 230)

30 million people in the UK go online on a daily basis; paying bills, shopping, watching films, chatting with friends and meeting new people. The Internet is an extremely powerful tool, but unfortunately it can also be a dangerous place for both adults and children. Internet safety is becoming a major issue for parents and schools, and there are increasing debates concerning our rights and privacy online. This book explores the evolution of the Internet, looking at how we live through technology and considering how we can take full advantage of the net, without compromising our safety.
