cyber awareness

After reading the articles given, i feel that cyber awareness is important as internet is widely used by teenagers and nowadays, even primary school kids are starting to use it. Not only do they use it for online learning, they use it to play games, chat or even go to their own facebook accounts that they make by faking their date of birth.

Also, kids nowadays may download illegal games, not knowing what it contains. There may be virus or even hackers that will hack the computer once the download is completed.
Kids are unaware as there are no adult supervision and since they do not have a basic background of the internet safety, they do not know the consequences of downloading illegal stuffs.

It is good that NYP adopts the teachings of cyber awareness through the general study modules. That way, students can learn the safe way of using the internet and won't download illegal stuffs as they know the risks.

I feel that primary and secondary school students should be taught about cyber awareness and that there should be adult supervision when they are using. Laptops and computers should be locked with passwords so that kids can only have internet access when teir parents are home.
