Cell Phone and Internet Dangers

Cell phones and the Internet have improved our lives in many ways.
However, along with the improvements, they have also brought a number of
worrying problems that need to be addressed.
Many car accidents are caused by cell phones. “You can use many new
cell phones to get on the Internet. This can be very convenient, but some
drivers get on the Internet while driving. Driving needs all our attention. By
looking at their cell phones and not at the road, these insensitive drivers are a
danger to us all.
Many of the dangers of the Internet are well known. Children who visit
websites without their parents’ permission sometimes talk to older people they
don’t know and put themselves in great danger. People with blogs sometimes
posts embarrassing photographs of people they do not know on their websites
without permission. There are also people who use the Internet to get personal
information that we do not want to have.
