Advantages

With internet being available you can research easily without having to go to the library and look through heaps of books you can also email, text, FaceTime or skype your family or friends without walking to the post office to mail them, it is good because you can entertain yourself with movies, funny videos and YouTube also by using the internet you can use social media and talk to you friends and by using social media you can see what is happening all around the world also with social media you can keep you snapchat streaks.

Disadvantages

Even though social media can be a good thing it also comes with a disadvantages such as strangers can easily contact you and people can also cyberbully you through social media. Through internet you can post things you write like information reports and things like that but by doing that it also becomes available for people to copy it, through internet it is easier to get viruses by going on weird sites opening emails from strangers ads etc. also with internet it is easy to get carried away with it and spend hours on it.

So just recently my class watched a video called game on and it is all about a group of kids using social media and there devices wrong. If you scroll to the bottom of the page the #gameon video is there.

Cyber safety is very important to younger students but is still important to anyone, if you want to be safe online you need to never ever give out your password to anyone even your closes friends because you never know maybe they will go on to your account and post something you don’t like, maybe you go online and something pops up saying you can get 100+ ringtones for free it is just a scam, nothing online is free. Here are some rules to be safe online.

  1. Never give your password to anyone not even your closest friends.
  2. Don’t talk to strangers, anyone can be there and you don’t know who they are.
  3. Don’t give out your photo to strangers.
  4. Always remember once you post something it will never be just yours again
  5. Be careful what you post because anyone can see it.
  6. Always read the terms, you can even just scan over it.
  7. Nothing is ever free
  8. Never give out your private details online.

Everyone makes mistakes just remember not to make them again.
