Popular Culture [Thursday, October 11, 4th Period]
Rose had a set of computer terminals handwavily set-up on each desk. "Last class we talked about computers, now we're going to tackle the wonderful world of the internet. One of the benefits of the internet is that it makes researching easier be it for class, work or," here she aimed a pointed glance at the boys, "or something very NC-17."
She passed a set of handouts to the class, "The internet makes it easy for us to exchange mail at the speed of snappin' your fingers, time was it'd take days, even months for people to correspond to each other.This fun service is called e-mail, or electronic mail. Another fun fact about the internet is you can do almost anything with it: You can buy clothes, talk to someone from across the seas, and as I said earlier, you can even do some research online. Alternatively, it also means it makes things easier for some people to prey on others. So, there's also a safety issue involved.
"There has been a growin' number of cases that involved people losing their entire fortunes because they trusted people they hadn't met before. Worse, people have lost their lives because they've been too careless with their words while using the net. So, a bit of pointers before I set you lot out into the wonderful, frightening world of the internet:

Worse, people have lost their lives because they've been too careless with their words while using the net. So, a bit of pointers before I set you lot out into the wonderful, frightening world of the internet:
- First, remember never to give out personal information such as your name, home address, school name, or telephone number in a chat room or on bulletin boards. Also, never send a picture of yourself to someone you chat with on the computer without your parent's permission.
- Never write to someone who has made you feel uncomfortable or scared.
- Do not meet someone or have them visit you without the permission of your parents.
- Tell your parents right away if you read anything on the Internet that makes you feel uncomfortable.
- Remember that people online may not be who they say they are. Someone who says that "she" is a "12-year-old girl" could really be an older man.
"Right that's it for today, go on, kids, enjoy the net. They'll be no show and tell for today, we'll resume it again, next week."
