10 ways to survive on the Internet and make it our own way

1) Ready

Before going on the Internet, be sure you've got your Mountain shoes on. Cause where you're going you need tools, maps, and attention. It's and brand new world that is being offered to your lonely soul. Well, now you're ready let's step to the next commandment.

2) Steady

Take it slowly. Never run too fast or you'll fall down in the blink of an eye. There's no real motorway on the Internet but mostly small and steep ways. As soon as you doubt, take the time to think and avoid a wrong choice. Virus, spam, pornography, many programm can enter your system and destroy it. 

3) Go!

When you know where you're going by clicking on this link or that one then GO for it!

4) Thou shalt remain lucid

The Internet is like a crime scene. You have to watch your steps not to destroy evidence. It is the issue of faith and reliability of the person you'd talk to or websites you'd visit.

5) Thou shalt not trust anybody

Everybody is anonymous on the Internet. I could be a 16 years-old girl or a grandpa. I can be anyone I want. So if you do not know who you are talking to, remain lucid (previous commandment) and do not trust anybody.

6) Thou shalt be you

But the Internet is not only hell on earth. You can make it your own way. And if you do you'll see how clever your use of the Internet can be. You have a personality so show it!

7) Thou shalt clic and clic and clic

When you're confident, feel free to go from websites to websites, use links as bridges to travel all aroung the Web. This is the best way to discover new people, new films, new albums or find new places to go to in holidays.

8) Thou shalt customize

DIY! Chose the background of your Gmail account, change the police of the titles in your blog, set up a different homepage when you go on Firefox, and so on.

9) Thou shalt e-shop

Take advantage of what the Internet gives you. Avoid the crowd in shops for the Christmas shopping and rather shop online!

10) Thou shalt turn off your computer

Go back to your mind. This is the only irremediable wealth you'll ever have. Good night.
