Technology has transformed the way we communicate and every other aspect of life. Alongside its many benefits, it has also brought risks that we must continously address.
The first step, that of critical thinking, is essential to staying safe in the virtual world, in the face of dangers such as hate speech, misuse of personal data, violence, harmful content, various forms of abuse, etc.
This media literacy is more than just a protective barrier between our children and ourselves, as everyday internet users and the risks hidden within this digital world.
That’s why you need to talk to your children, explain to them the risks of the virtual world and how to protect themselves, without forgetting to monitor your children’s online activity.
