Internet Use Theory and Exploration

Final Assignment in this unit.  We have talked about internet security, antivirus, search engines, and the beginning of the internet.  But we haven't talked about the DANGERS.  And there are MANY!!!  Your assignment is to create a RAFTS based on the following criteria.  You are the Internet cops, and yes, there are such people, and you are writing a 2 page report on the dangers on the internet.  You are WARNING the youth of our world.

You have two classes to work on this.  I have listed a number of topics below that you can research.  You can write one paragraph per topic.  Please be careful when researching these topics.... you dont want to pull up actual CONTENT.  You want information on the topic.  For example: do not search 'child pornography'.  Instead look up the 'dangers of child pornography'. 

You can report on other topics that are not listed below.  As long as you can support them as a danger.

See you Tuesday.
