The internet is a giant place you can visit using a computer, tablet, or phone where you can play games and learn new things! But just like the real world, you have to follow rules to stay safe. The internet can be fun and helpful when you use it the right way.
You should never share your name, where you live, or your passwords with anyone online. Always ask for permission before you click on new buttons or download anything to the computer. Only visit websites that a grownup says are okay!
If you see something on the screen that makes you feel weird or scared, tell a grownup right away. They can help you exit the page and find a better game to play. Remember that not everything you see online is true, so always check with a grownup!
- The internet connects billions of people all around the world!
- More than 5 billion people use the internet every day.
- The very first website was created in 1991, and it was just a simple page with words — no pictures or videos!
