As such, the ability to connect with the world outside the home is quite large. That said you want to be sure you and your loved ones are not harmed by such connections. For example, make sure any home computers are protected against hacking. When online, do not give out any personal details that you do not want the world to know. Finally, be careful when using social media too.
