Internet & E-mail
The following list was created because a volunteer was asked to teach a bunch of bratom students how to use "internet and the e-mail." This is probably not a great idea, but what to do otherwise? This list, while designed as a list of warnings for the students (when translated), is probably fairly adaptable advice to give to any Thai counterpart being taught the internet for the first time.
- Never give out your full name, address, or phone number to anyone on-line without first talking about it with a parent or teacher
- Never arrange to meet anyone in person whom you have met on-line.
- Be aware that people may not be who they appear to be on-line. Someone who claims to be a teen aged girl could be a forty-year-old man.
- Never send photos of yourself to anyone on-line. Talk with a parent or teacher before posting photos of yourself anywhere on-line.
- Trust your instincts. If someone is sending you email or chat requests that make you feel uncomfortable, listen to your feelings. You don't have to respond to someone or do anything that you don't want to. If someone contacts you on-line in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable, tell your teachers.
- Beware of e-mail from people you don't know or e-mail you weren't expecting. It may contain a virus designed to damage your computer or send your account name and password back to the sender.
- Don't join a mailing list or website without your teacher's permission.
- Don't open e-mail from anyone you don't know. It might be a virus which could damage your computer.
- Do not ever send your account name and password to anyone.
- Don't believe everything people on the internet tell you. Since you can't see the other person, you don't know who they really are.
- Never agree to buy or trade anything on the internet.
- Be careful of websites that offer free games or free songs. Many sites like that will try to download viruses onto your computer.
- Beware of anyone offering you free things on the internet. These are often people who are trying to take your money or give you a computer virus.

Watch
I think this list pretty much covers the basic dangers. Some of the bullets are redundant, and by consolidating them might make the suggestions more powerful. For example:
"Beware of e-mail from people you don't know" and "Don't open e-mail from anyone you don't know" "Be careful of websites that offer free games..." and "Beware of anyone offering you free things..." Scott |
