 Online dating can be fun. But don’t neglect safety and common sense when you try to hook up with a mate. At minimum, take caution in the following areas. 
 
Protect Your Computer  
 
Take care of your equipment and systems before you head out into the Internet realm. You need to have a firewall and anti-virus protection for your email and for when you search websites and interact online. At the bare minimum, you may want these two solutions that are offered at no charge to home computer users (i.e. not for commercial use):

Protect Yourself 
 
Take care of yourself, too, by choosing appropriate dating sites. Seek and choose a reputable online dating service.  How? Begin by asking around with friends, neighbors, co-workers and others you may know who have tried online dating, and see which places they recommend. In addition, search “online dating services” and keep a notebook of their URLs or website links, the fees, rules and regulations, complete contact information of each and any other useful information that spikes your interest. Then compare each place.  Try only those places where you feel safe. Avoid the others. 
 
So take care. Arm your computer – and yourself- with the correct tools and knowledge!</div>

As the 25th anniversary of the World Wide Web approaches, 87 percent of U.S. adults use the Internet, according to a Pew Research Center survey. 
That’s a significant change compared to the 42 percent of U.S. adults who had never heard of the Internet in 1995—six years after Tim Berners-Lee, a British computer scientist, introduced the idea of the World Wide Web. 
 
March 12 marks 25 years since Berners-Lee made a proposal for an information system that turned into the Web. 
There may be an overall perception that the Internet has led to users feeling isolated or depressed and that it’s a den for stalkers and porn. The Pew study, though, shows that 90 percent of those surveyed say the Internet has been good for them, and 76 percent say it has been good for society. 
 
However, while 67 percent said the Internet strengthened communications with their friends and family, 18 percent said it hurt those relationships. 
 
The Pew Research Center interviewed more than 1000 U.S. adults last month for the survey. 
 
“The rise of the Web—and more broadly, the Internet—has been one of the most remarkable stories of technology adoption in history,” said Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Research Center Internet Project. “After they tote up all the positives and negatives of life in the digital age, the vast majority of users believe these technologies have made things better for them and for society. They see problems, to be sure, but most have now brought technology so deeply into the rhythms of their lives that they say it would be very hard to give up.” 
 
According to Pew research, 20 to 25 years ago, anyone who wanted to use the Internet needed to have access to a computer. In 1995, 42 percent of U.S. adults said they used a computer at their workplace, at school or at home—even if only occasionally. 
 
Now, eight in ten U.S. adults said they use a laptop or desktop computer somewhere in their lives. 
 
And 53 percent of Internet users today said in the Pew survey that the Internet would be, at a minimum, very hard to give up, compared with 38 percent in 2006. 
 
Similarly, 49 percent of cell phone owners said their phones would be very hard to give up, andincrease from 43 percent in 2006. 
 
Fewer people feel the same way about their televisions, however. According to Pew, 35 percent of U.S. adults said their TVs would be very hard to give up, down from 44 percent who had the same view in 2006.

Americans, though, are much more attached to the Internet and their digital devices. Pew noted that 39 percent said they “absolutely need” to have Internet access. Among those who said it would be difficult to give up net access, 61 percent said being online is essential for their jobs or other aspects of their lives, and 30 percent said they want the Internet because they simply enjoy being online.</div>
