Cyber Safety.Target Audience

in this growing and advancing internet generation.

• Staff from Planet CrUsh pointed out that the organization can only reach out to people who sign-up for their courses.

• However, We will bring the course to the people.

• And with our help, the message of Cyber Wellness will be able to reach those of Singapore and Australia.

Reaching out.Our Rationale

• Labor’s Plan for Cyber-safety: “While we recognise that the computer and the internet are a powerful source of information and entertainment, we must also recognise that there is POTENTIAL for MALICIOUS behaviour and harmful effects.”

Evidence of internet related problems.Our Rationale

• Cyber-safety for kids: Advisory Council on the Impact of New Media on Society (Aims) chairman Cheong Yip Seng told a news conference yesterday that the Government should pour more resources into cyber-safety as Singapore grows ever more digital.

Evidence of internet related problems.Our Rationale

• From this we can conclude that: Cyber safety is an important issue that needs to be addressed as quickly and as effectively as possible.

• Therefore, there is indeed a need to educate more youths and guide them towards the path of Cyber Wellness.
