Summary

The virtual world reflects the best and worst of the real world. Now, with The World Wide Web For Kids & Parents, the whole family can go straight to all the good stuff, such as multiplayer interactive games for kids; Web sites featuring information related to school projects, hobbies, and career and college aspirations; and even cutting-edge stuff, such as live events broadcast over the Internet. Plus, if you're like most parents whose kids know more about the Internet than they themselves do, you may especially appreciate the easy-to-understand explanations of Internet technology as well as the heads-up you get from The World Wide Web For Kids & Parents, so that you can keep your children from venturing into areas inappropriate for their ages. To get you up to speed right away, the book includes a valuable bonus CD-ROM containing AT&T WorldNetSM Service, including five free hours per month of Internet access for one year; customized versions of the top two Web browsers, Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator; Shockwave for Director, to bring to life all the multimedia available out there on the World Wide Web; and even a 30-day trial version of Enhanced CU-SeeMe Web videoconferencing software.
