Internet Safety Facts
The Internet is everywhere. In coffeehouses, dorm rooms, libraries and even on your cell phone or PDA. There's no escaping the World Wide Web, even if you try. But there are ways to keep you and your family safe while you are online.

History of the Internet

You may have heard rumors as to how this whole Internet thing got started. But the truth is the World Wide Web has been around for decades -- long before Bill Gates or Apple computers became household names. The Internet was the result of some fanciful thinking during the 1960s by some scientists and military personnel. And after many years of successes, failures and private party use, the Internet became available to the general public in the 1980s. However, it wasn't until about a decade later when it became more commonplace.
