Safer Internet Day
The Internet can become a frightening place if not used properly. It has helped bring our friends and family closer. But, at the very same time, we face the potential of becoming a victim of internet crimes every day. Therefore, with the boon of communication, education, and awareness, the internet has come with the possible bane of safety.
History
The date of celebrating Safer Internet Day changes annually. But however, this year it falls on February 9. This day officially began celebrating in the year 2012, by the US Department of Homeland Security and the European Commission. Each year they choose a theme and work on it. For example, in the year 2015, the chosen theme was “Actions & Activism Toward a Better Net & World”. This year they primarily focused on cyberbullying and integration with the National Parent Teacher Association.
