Education as the Background for Children's Safety in Cyberspace

Summary/Abstract: The article attempts to present the cyberspace environment, the threats it poses to children, and how to counter them. There are a number of definitions both in expert publications and in government documents, which can help to understand what cyberspace is. The changes that have taken place in the beginning of the IT revolution have led to the emergence of new types of cyber threats. A virtual reality user is free to use e-mail, social networking, a wide variety of websites or databases. All this is available anywhere on the ground, the only limitation is the device for Internet access and network coverage. The multiplicity of both portable and fixed devices makes access to cyberspace ever easier. Younger children are getting their mobile devices as a gift, guaranteeing them free surfing the Internet. Old ways of spending free time disappear. Family walks, outdoor fun, playing football with friends is a thing of the past. Fewer children spend time in this way, most of them choose cyberspace.
