                 BLOG
                 A Blog or Weblog is a personal online diary or journal that allows us to share our thoughts or
                 ideas. A blog allows us to connect with people with similar interests. We can add videos, pictures
                 and music to our blog and visitors can add comments on the published content too.

                 Blogging is the process of writing, photographing or using other media to self-publish content
                 online. It is one of the most popular ways to put out content that other people on the web can
                 interact with. Blogging gives us the opportunity to voice our opinions. It has also become a platform
                 for businesses to advertise themselves.

                 PODCAST

                 A podcast is like an online on-demand radio show.
                 It can be  considered  as a medium  through which               Just as roots connect trees in a
                 recorded  audio  information  is distributed  over            forest, email connects people across
                 the  Internet, unlike  a radio  show where the  show                   diverse networks.
                 is broadcast live. We can listen to these audio files
                 whenever we want. There are thousands of podcasts
                 available, ranging from general interest entertainment
                 shows to topics like education, technology, etc. You
                 can listen to podcasts directly from the websites where they are posted, or you can also subscribe
                 to them using software like iPodder and iTunes. These files can also be downloaded so that we can
                 listen to them on our computers and mobile phones.



                           SAFETY ON INTERNET


                 The following points must be kept in mind while using the Internet services:
                    Never share your personal information with anyone.
                    Always set a strong password as it is difficult to guess, thereby securing  your accounts.
                    Avoid using public Wi-Fi while accessing your accounts.
                    Avoid opening emails received from unknown sources.





                                   If you could write a blog post that would be read by every person in the world, what
                                   message or story would you share?
