Summary

The Internet and World Wide Web are essential parts of education, work, and social life, but despite all of their benefits, they also come with many dangers. Teens are especially vulnerable to these risks, as they are often unaware of the predators and perils awaiting them online. Staying safe in a fast-paced, technology-driven world is more difficult than ever, but the books in the new Cybersafety set give students and teachers alike the information they need to protect themselves.

Exploring different aspects of the Internet, the World Wide Web, and mobile communications and computing, the titles in this set point out the risks connected to various online activities while offering advice on how to avoid them, using real-life cases to illustrate how serious the dangers can be. Informative without talking down to readers, this set is designed to keep teens safe in the real and virtual world.
