Using the Internet

Aladdin jumped on a magic carpet to see the world, and you can jump on your laptop to see the World Wide Web! It has become a kind of second world, with videos and images, music and historical documents, and now even artificial intelligence.

Like Aladdin, you need to be smart about where you fly and what you see. You’ll find wonders but need to avoid dangers. Some of what you see is real, and some is created to fool you, whether by artificial intelligence or all-too-human intelligence.

In this chapter, you’ll learn how to get the most out of your time online, conducting in-depth research and evaluating and saving what you find. You’ll also discover ways to stay safe online. So hop on your computer. It can show you the world!
