My own Internet use ranges from email to research and many things in between. If I categorized my use by personal and professional, the personal use would equal about twenty percent, and the professional use would be about eighty percent.

Regarding safety and my professional use, I believe that I have very good safety practices. I really consider and research authors and sources of the information that I find on-line. I have learned the difference between reputable, research driven sites for instructional effectiveness and commercial "worksheet" sites. For personal use, I do window shop on-line. However, due to an incident with identity theft, I really limit my on-line purchases. The identity theft episode was not Internet related, but the whole experience made me very wary of on-line shopping.
