                       2.  What are some dangers of using the Internet too much?

                      The Internet is a great place to explore, connect and have fun. Every day, you use it for learning,
                      chatting, playing games and taking pictures. But being online still means being smart, safe and
                      kind. In this chapter, you will learn how to be a responsible digital citizen and protect yourself from
                      online risks.

                             WHAT IS DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP?

                      Digital citizenship refers to  the  responsible use  of technology  and  the  Internet. It includes
                      understanding how to behave safely, ethically and responsibly online. It involves respecting others,
                      protecting personal information and knowing how to use the Internet effectively and safely.

                      Here are the key areas of digital citizenship:

                          Digital etiquette: This refers to treating others with respect and courtesy while
                         communicating on the Internet. Be aware that both words and actions on the
                         Internet may be observed by a large number of people.

                                         Digital communication: Digital  communication  means  sharing and  talking
                                        online in a clear and kind way, remembering there’s always a real person on the
                                        other side.

                          Online safety and  privacy: It is  important  to  never share your  personal
                         information online without protection. Be careful about what information you
                         give out and with whom you share it.
