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.

Becky and Zach are cousins chatting via the internet. Becky has some words of wisdom for Zach because as we all know the internet is full of strangers. She points out to Zach that he should never give out personal information to anyone he doesn't know, that he should not open e-mails from strangers and not download stuff without permission. She also reminds him that anyone can pretend that they are a kid having fun on the internet. This instructional and entertaining book is aimed at children rather than just adults (but adults can use it, too ) Its comic book style makes it a fun way for kids to learn about internet safety.
