ICT Watch Indonesia

Supported by XL, ICT Watch is preparing the “Internet Sehat” book, updated version of the latest one. “Internet Sehat” is communication program (campaign) on how to use Internet safely and wisely. We will print around 10 thousand pieces and distribute it freely to community through activities/events developed by ICT Watch and XL.

The book will contain guidance, PC filtering tutorial and short messages in cartoon form as well. Hopefully, information inside the book can be delivered to our target, from family, school, teacher, parent, teenager and children as well. Please wait for the launch of the book…

[Bahasa Indonesia] Tentu saja tidak seluruh isi di Internet dapat bermanfaat, jika kita tak pandai-pandai dalam menggunakan Internet. Karena sifatnya yang cenderung bebas tanpa kontrol pihak manapun, maka ada saja materi atau isi yang bersifat negatif di Internet ataupun yang dikirim/ terkirim melalui Internet. Sebutlah semisal pornografi, perjudian, sadisme dan rasialisme.

Belum lagi dengan aneka macam program jahat (virus, worm, trojan horse, spyware, adware) yang dapat mencuri bahkan merusak data di komputer, serangan e-mail sampah (spam), penipuan, pelanggaran privasi hingga pelecehan seksual.

Untuk itulah maka program “Internet Sehat” yang digagas oleh Yayasan Center for ICT Studies – ICT Watch (www.ictwatch.com) sejak 2001 silam bertujuan mengajak kita bersama agar menjadi lebih paham dan peduli dengan “sehat”-nya Internet kita.
