In these days of phishing, credit card fraud and email nasties, the Australian Government has a new initiative call e-security week. In an effort to protect individuals and small businesses of the perils of today’s online world, the government has launched a new website to try and educate users in four main areas, titled: Securing your computer, Small businesses safe on line, Smart transacting online, and Kids safe online. There’s no software to download, no hard earned cash to part with - it doesn’t even ask for personal information. The staysmartonline.gov.au website is a reference for parents, teachers, and business owners, to help make the best of what the Internet has to offer. The online world is fraught with danger, not unlike today’s real world when you step out the front door. There really isn’t any difference except that when we go outside we know how to behave and what to look out for. For example, we don’t walk across a busy road without looking left then right, then left again – why – because that’s what we were taught when we were young. We know not to go into certain parts of our town by ourselves or unaccompanied. The same can be said when we wander into the online world. If we know what to do, and what not to do, there is no reason why our online experience can’t be enjoyable. Stay smart online, is the new teacher for the technological era. Online transactions are here to stay, and, like the demise of old banking practices, we’ll see more and more old fashion methods of transaction become extinct, with banks and businesses turning to the online world for almost all financial dealings. If you know what to do, and how to do it, it’s perfectly safe. The e-security initiative by the federal government is a commendable approach in helping all Australians, young and old, get online, and stay safe when doing so. No longer can anyone at any age ignore the Internet. They would do so at there own peril.
