The world Wide Web is a rich source of information, education and entertainment. It also has a dark side. Navigating the Web can be very rewarding; it can also be frustrating and even risky. Learn about finding the best and avoiding the worst. Find out about some of the sites you should be visiting, the tools you should be using, and some of the dangers that are lurking. Learn how to identify and fight back against the spammers and hackers who want to take your money, or take over your identity. And experience some of the beauty and wonder that are available from wherever you are. Where you stand determines what you see. The World Wide Web lets you stand virtually anywhere, and see so much.
