The Internet has become an essential everyday service for the average household, up there with the supply of water and electricity. Filling a kettle with water and switching the kettle on to make a cup of tea needs little understanding of the services provided. Using the Internet seems so easy, however the understanding of how the Internet works is left to the tech-experts and the purveyors of Internet services. There is a big gap in the level of awareness of the general Internet user as to what the Internet does. The Internet, once it went global in the 1990's, evolved in an entirely commercial environment, cutting short some of the detailed specification of the Internet, especially in the area of Internet Security. Today, we are seeing some of these shortcomings being openly exploited to the detriment of the security of one's personal data in the Internet world. It is becoming more imperative that this awareness gap is closed. Everyone's Guide to Internet Security looks inside the Internet to explain how the Internet functions using the simple concepts and ideas, starting with two coffee tins and a piece of string, identifying the points of susceptibility when navigating the Internet. In particular, the one area that features more and more in the present-day media is Internet Security. One of the purposes of the book, Everyone's Guide to Internet Security, is to give an easy-to-understand comprehensive background to such stories, providing a better understanding of how the Internet allows these things to happen. By providing a clear view of the internals of the Internet, Everyone's Guide to Internet Security arms the reader with the knowledge to pre-empt and avoid these pitfalls. As we will see, the responsibility of surfing the Internet safely has fallen squarely on to the shoulders of the surfer. It is up to the individual to be vigilant and wary of the dangers that are just a click away. Everyone's Guide to Internet Security will be your guide to better Internet Security while still enjoying the abundant benefits of being on the Internet.Along the way, we look at the history of electronic communication from the days of the telegraph and the telephone to how everyone and everything can connect to the Internet of today. Everyone's Guide to Internet Security explains how the Internet evolved from an in-house network of universities and research centres for sharing knowledge and ideas to the globalised Internet that spans international borders as though they do not exist and how the security aspects of the Internet were left at the starting blocks in the race to capitalise on this brave new world. The narrative goes beyond just the security aspects. Along the journey, each chapter is dedicated to a specific topic, such as WIFI, mobile phone networks, global roaming, fibre to the home (FTTH) highspeed broadband networks and the brave new world of Cloud computing. We compare the home computer network to the office network, the two areas where most of us interact with the Internet. Occasionally, we get glimpses of the hidden world of the Internet, such as a mobile phone transmitter tower in the urban landscape or a microwave link between hilltops observed along a motorway, as both the observer and the Internet travel on their respective inter-city highway.The book, Everyone's Guide to Internet Security is a comprehensive, one-stop reference point as to why problems happen and how to avoid major incidents when on the Internet. Everyone's Guide to Internet Security also provides background information to news items that occur in the everyday press that feature problems with the Internet.Everyone's Guide to Internet Security covers, what I think, is a gap in user guides on the Internet, in that this is an easy-to-understand, not too technical, description of how the Internet works and informs the reader of every aspect of the Internet in its various forms.

This book is for the reader who has ever wanted to "harness the power of the Internet," but was not quite sure what that means, or how to do it. It is written for the person who simply does not have the background to use Internet tools comfortably, and has never found the resources to help them. If you have sought guidance from your child or grandchild only to be annoyed at their exasperated response to your Internet questions, this book is for you. Or, if you have tried using the Internet on your own and gotten frustrated with the tools, or encountered problems (or know someone who did), this book is for you. Or, if you are using the Internet, but do not feel very confident in what you are doing, this book is for you. Of course, if you are the child or grandchild who is having trouble explaining things to your parent or grandparent, this book could help you too. This book provides illustrated, step-by-step guidance to use the Internet without jargon you normally encounter. It is an easy-to-read book that not only tells you how to accomplish your goal, but also how to avoid bad things that might happen along the way. There are chapters on surfing the web, purchasing online, navigating special web pages, using email, and using social networking tools, such as blogs, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. For example, when explaining the Internet, it includes a discussion of how web pages work, who creates them (and why), how to use search engines, and when to use bookmarks. It even includes a list of web pages that might be of interest to readers, and a discussion of the mechanics of surfing. Another chapter covers navigating website, including how to purchase online, and how to navigate special pages, such as eBay, StumbleUpon, iTunes, photo sites and Wikipedia. The following chapter covers email including how to create and answer email, email etiquette, guidelines for meeting the challenge of too much email, and smart email use to avoid spam, scams, viruses and phishing. This is followed by a chapter on blogging and social networking, which not only helps you set up a blog, or a Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn account, but also how to use those tools to meet your own personal needs. Although the problems with the Internet (and how to avoid them) is discussed throughout, the book ends with a chapter on how to use the Internet safely and how specific practices make it possible. Finally, the book is supplemented by a helpful blog to help keep users up to date on Internet use, and to provide a forum for questions.

This book is a review of the effectiveness of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA" or "the Act") to address privacy and safety risks created when children under 13 years of age ("children") use the Internet. To protect children, the Act imposes requirements on operators of websites or online services directed to children, and other operators with actual knowledge that they have collected personal information from children. The Act generally mandates that such operators must provide notice of their privacy policies; obtain verifiable parental consent prior to collecting personal information from children; allow parents to review and delete personal information that their children have provided; and establish and maintain reasonable procedures to protect the security of personal information collected from children.
