Hotspots

                 Hotspots  provide  wireless  Internet  access  using  Wi-Fi  over  relatively  short
                 distances, typically up to about 20 meters. They can be found in various places like

                 coffee shops, airports and public libraries. Hotspots can be used with smartphones,
                 tablets, laptops, and other Wi-Fi-enabled devices.

                     INTERNET ETHICS

                 We all know that the Internet has become an important part of our day-to-day

                 activities. We use the Internet for searching for information, sending or receiving
                 e-mails, doing online banking, shopping, etc. Internet ethics are the good practices
                 that one should follow while using the Internet.

                 Some of the Internet ethics are as follows:
                    Do not deceive others by hiding your identity online.
                    Avoid using rude or offensive language in emails, blogs, and on social networking
                     sites.

                    Do not share personal information with unknown individuals.
                    Avoid accessing inappropriate websites.
                    Do not use someone else's username and password to access their email.


                     ONLINE SAFETY

                 Cybercrime is common nowadays, so, we should be very careful while using the

                 Internet. Follow the given guidelines to avoid becoming a victim of Cybercrimes.
                 Choose Strong Passwords

                 We should use a unique and strong password so that it should not be guessed by

                 strangers or those who are close to us.
                 Never Save your Password

                 Whenever we open any account, the browser prompts us to save our passwords

                 so that we can log in directly without typing our passwords which saves our time.
                 But, saving the passwords can be harmful as the person using our computer can
                 get access to our account easily and can misuse it.
                 Open Trusted Emails Only


                 Never open any email with attachments or links until and
                 unless  it  has  been  sent  by  the  person  you  are  expecting
                 from. The mail can contain a virus and can be harmful to
                 your computer.
