Читать книгу A Smart Girl's Guide: Digital World - Carrie Anton - Страница 5

Dear Reader,

Technology makes life so much easier! No more getting

lost, thanks to map apps. A face-to-face talk with your

favorite aunt who lives on the other side of the world

can take place right on your screen. When a word trips

you up while you’re reading, the definition is a tap away

in your e-book. And that’s just for starters. The truth

is, digital technology is changing the way we live every

day, in almost every way.

Even with all the benefits, though, the online world

can be tricky to navigate. Just like when you’re riding

a bicycle, you need to know the risks and the rules

for staying safe. Life in the digital sphere also means

making decisions about how you present yourself every

time you go there. You might even feel like you’re living

two different versions of yourself: the real you and the

virtual you.

This book shows you how to be true to the real you,

how to take care of yourself, and how to make the

most of digital technology. Advice from real girls will

help you use this technology without getting sucked

into drama. Quizzes will test your online safety smarts.

You’ll discover ways that tech can help you manage

things like schoolwork. And best of all, you’ll find tons

of ideas for connecting with friends, family, classmates,

and other citizens of the digital world.
