INTERNET SAFETY
A small blank square and a blinking cursor. A window through which the entire world exists. You only have to say the right word – any word – and your every desire will be delivered.
This isn’t some magic genie lamp. It’s Google, Bing, and every other search engine on the Internet. We live in a world where every home is tapped into a vast sea of information, images, videos and more. It’s an ocean filled with exotic islands, glorious and strange creatures, and even demons and monsters. Traveling to the wrong place can bring very real tragedy and horror to a family, and traveling there is as simple as typing in the wrong word into that little square box.
