Musketeers Conquer the Net: A 'Teen' Guide to Getting Online
SummaryText
Published by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), "The Musketeers Conquer the Net" aims to introduce teenagers to the nternet. The publication starts with a basic introduction like how to get online, and then goes on to discuss topics such as e-mail, chat groups and search engines. The guide also discusses internet hoaxes, scams, misinformation and intellectual property rights for file-sharing.
Written in a conversational dialogue, "The Musketeers Conquer the Net" chronicles the adventures of a cast of semi-fictional characters as they explore the frontiers of the internet while separated by thousands of kilometres. The guide was written and illustrated in collaboration with a number of youths aged between 10 and 16.
"We hope that it will show teenagers how they can use the World Wide Web in a safe and fun manner", said UNECE Executive Secretary Brigita Schmögnerová. "Through the Internet, they will be able to make friends all over the world and thereby build a more peaceful future".
As one of the five regional commissions of the United Nations, the UNECE works to foster cooperation between Member States through economic and policy analysis, as well as by focusing on the environment, human settlements, sustainable energy, trade, industry and enterprise development, timber and transport.
"The Musketeers Conquer the Net" is available in English, French, Russian and Spanish, both in print and as a download. Contact the UNECE to order the print version.
