Addiction

Inaccurate Information

  • Though there are many legitimate websites full of factual information, there are a plethora of sites with inaccurate information, and it is often hard to differentiate between them.

Hacking of Personal Information

  • Providing personal information online when shopping or banking can result in hackers gaining access to private data that can be used to steal your funds and even your identity.

Viruses

  • Going online often means subjecting your computer to viruses that can crash your system, causing you to lose important files and sometimes destroying your operating system.

Inappropriate Websites

  • Children can often stumble upon or seek out inappropriate websites when using the Internet at home, which can be dangerous if the child shares personal information.
