Today is European Safer Internet Day 2010. If this fact has passed you by, then you are not alone as it does not seem to have been publicised much at all.
The stated aim is to encourage safe and responsible use of online technology and using mobile phones, which is an aim I can certainly agree with, having a young child who is currently learning about email in school.
The theme this year is “Think Before You Post” and I am sure that there are many more experienced folks as well as the children and young people who the day is most aimed at, who have forgotten to do this now and again. I personally have made the mistake of forgetting to remove an address from the CC field of a less than complimentary email I intended for internal eyes but unintentially delivered to the people who had contracted the services of the company discussed in the email.
So if you are a seasoned internet hand, or someone new to the internet and mobile technologies, take a minute to “Think before you post”.
www.saferinternetday.org has all the details.
