Learning from the Internet Society

Yesterday, two of our Teenangels met the inventor of the Internet, Vint Cerf, and the designer of the world wide web, Sir Tim Berners-Lee. Until yesterday's INET conference in NY, they didn't understand the difference. Now they also understand IPv6 and IPv4 and net neutrality. Their biggest reaction was that most people don't understand what these things mean or why they are important. They will be doing a translation of the issues for other teens. After all, they tell everyone - the Internet is meant for teens!

Teenangels are teen digital safety experts

Founded in 1999 with five girls from a private high school in NJ, Teenangels has grown to an international group of empowered teens, preteens and college students. Thei training can take up to two years, but what they learn and the help they provide to themselves and others lasts a lifetime. To learn more, visit Teenangels.org. (Teenangels was founded by Parry Aftab and is a youth leadership program of WiredSafety.org)
