    Keeping personal internet safe

         The Internet is one of the most dangerous things. Of course, it is valid and has many benefits.

       Hailey Quinn, 11 grade, said, “I use my phone to text, make calls, for entertainment purposes, and do school work.” She luckily never got a virus, but she never did anything to prevent it.

         Regarding the internet, there are many ways to stay safe. Installing a VPN, a virtual personal network makes it safer and protects identities online. A VPN even makes your internet faster.  Clicking mysterious links could also cause unfortunate experiences while online. 

         Some precautions on the internet are, installing a VPN, not trusting everything is true, clearing the search history after every search, avoiding using Airdrop, and not sharing anything personal online with anyone. It is so easy to create an avatar pretending to be someone else.
