Own Your Space, 2nd Edition

Keep Yourself And Your Stuff Safe Online

Book Details

Book Description

This book is presented as a resource for every teenager and an essential tool for parents and teachers. However, the authors specifically target it at computer-savvy, keyboard-comfortable teens who use the internet daily and want to learn how to secure their systems, preserve their digital lifestyles, and protect their data. The book aims to provide the important details needed to keep those teens, along with their privacy, identities, and reputations, safe in cyberspace.

In short, the authors position the book for normal teenagers. They acknowledge that the intended reader likely understands quite a bit about computers, probably more than their parents. The book is written to address the gaps in computer knowledge that the authors, through their own teenage children, have identified as common.

Recognizing that their audience's time is limited, the authors have kept the book short and focused on the most critical aspects of security. They have also aimed to maintain interest by including real-world examples and case studies relevant to teenagers.

The authors assert that even power users will find value in the book. While such readers may already be familiar with some of the content, the authors suggest they will likely discover new details and will certainly find detailed information to share with less knowledgeable friends, siblings, or parents.
