Sightseeing on the Internet: Traveling in Cyberspace

Mom: We're lost, I knew it!

Dad: We're not lost.

Child: How much longer?

Announcer: Before you start on a trip, you check a map, pack the snacks, and follow the rules of the road. Traveling in cyberspace isn't much different. In fact, whether you travel on the road or the virtual road, common sense and a good handbook are your best travel companions.

With that in mind, the Federal Trade Commission has a new guide to traveling in cyberspace. It's called "Sight Seeing on the Internet." And it's filled with tips on using the Internet wisely, especially how to protect your personal information, and how to help kids have fun without giving out private information.

Call the FTC toll-free at 1-877-382-2020 to ask for their free guide. That's toll-free, 1-877-382-2020.

Child: Yay! We're here!
