Cynth received an email from an unknown source. Calling himself Fiend, he warned that I-Vee would soon be launching his next attack in the next few hours. His virus is ready, codenamed program WWX (World War X). The program would followusers clicking on the popular buying and gaming sites, and attack their computers and networks. Another infection area is the free advertising site set up by I-Vee's web site design company. As long as there is internet connection, all data would be affected. Fiend warned Cynth not to trace him; he is a friend and would work alone to stop I-Vee. Trying to trace him would expose him to danger.

Jackwas a website designer. He was also two years old.He liked to creatively design websites on his fathers laptop when he left it unattended and on-line. Jack's father did not know this. No-one knew this. In fact - this was Jacks first ever website designing session! The program Jack called up by randomly clicking was one of those 'easy website creator' type things. You clicked different buttons e.g. google search box,and put them where you wanted them on the page. It was kind of like a website design version of paint - and it wrote the html for you. Jack was happily dragging and dropping various features such as empty drop-down lists, onto his page. He continued in this fashion for at least 15minutes. At the end of this time, he had managed to include 7 google search boxes, 4 back buttons, 14 hyperlinks, 9 bookmark buttons and an advertaskingif you wanted to change your broadband provider.Jack giggled as he surveyed his master piece. There was a flashing button at the top left corner of the program that put the website on-line. 2 google search boxes and another broadband provider advert later, Jack managed to click on the on-line button. His masterpiece disappeared and was replaced by the jumble ofhtml that corresponded to his work. Annoyed, he pressed random buttons, until an error message came up.A few more random buttons later, and the error message had disappeared, and replaced by another broadband provider advert. Jack decided it wasn't so fun anymore,curled up on the computer chair and fell asleep. Half an hour later when hisfather was looking for him, was his artwork discovered. "Oh no" groaned his Father, as he got rid of the advert and brought up the programs history. He lifted the sleeping Jack back to his own bedroom and tried to undo his sons work. Unfortunately, the website had already been on-line long enough for it to have received attention. The attention was from his firms customers, and consequently his boss. The site had automatically been registered under one of his firms URLs and his boss wasn't happy. Jack's father sighed, and set about trying to think of a way out of this mess without loosing his job. Jack was very disappointed when he came back to next day and saw the laptop was gone!

My grandmother wanted to learn about how to use a computer. She did not have any knowledge when it came to the Internet. I started by helping her purchase high speed Internet through Verizon Wireless. I didn't want her to experience a very slow connection because this might have discouraged her from wanting to use the Internet.

Lou often used a different user name for each social networking or internet dating site that he accessed. However his favorite user name is the 'Moderator'. Once an online girl friend asked him about the meaning of his user name; he told her that it described his personality. He claimed that he often acted as a mediator for colleagues, friends and family members; and they bestowed the name Moderator on him, saying that it suited him perfectly.

I did a lot of research when I was looking for a web developer. Going to several search engine sites and it would bring up spam offers for booking on-line. As myself the consumer looking for a web developer, I didn't understand why I would be booking on-line and not my site generating it. From what I was understanding, it sounded like spam, the 3rd wheel was trying to earn from my business as they call it "hidden fees". They have lot of affiliates that generate sales for them. So I continued on another search engine site to see if booking on-line is common with web developers or if it is just plain out spam.

When you live in a rural area, sometimes getting a reliable internet connection can be difficult. It's a particularly trying experience to find a broadband provider since, in many outlying regions, users are still accessing the internet with dial-up. This is fine if you just want to check email -- it is decidedly NOT fine if you work in web page design or want to do a little buying on-line. Having a fast internet connection is a necessity and finding that broadband provider becomes an obsession.

One day I was buying on-line from eBay. It occurred to me that the web designers of eBay must have had to do a ton of work! They would have had to hire a programmer or maybe a whole bunch! The programmer who made eBay did a really good job.

It was an interesting day when I logged onto the Internet using my Wifi connection. I always get the weirdest emails to my yahoo account. Today I got one asking me to sign up for dating on-line. They really should figure out who I am being sending me dating on-line emails. I have a boyfriend, so I don't need to bedating on-line! I am sure he would not be very happy with me if he found out I decided to try dating online. Imagine him seeing my dating on-line profile. His eyes would pop right out of his head!

But I have a small network of friends that I keep in contact with through the Internet, and I think I can handle the various server issues for my home wireless network fairly well.

Well I am starting out in my sixth year, which they call Middle School. We just got done with our first full week of classes, and I am loving my computer class. So far I have learned what everything that starts with a web means. I think they forgot to mention spider web. Well one chapter was about a web designer. I think it would be fun to be a web designer, but I also know it involves a lot of concentration and hard work.
