Features: The 21st century is the century of information technology. The people of the new century, especially the youth, should be able to use the internet as skillfully as using a telephone. This requires starting from our young people, even children, making it as easy for them to go online as turning on a television. At the turn of the century, the number of internet users in China had approached 10 million; yet at the same turn, a news report in Beijing Daily was enough to shock people: Among the students of one of China's highest institutions of learning—Peking University, about 28% had never used the internet. Moreover, when we consider the country's 1.2 billion population, the 10 million internet users no longer seem impressive. This news further strengthened our determination to seriously compile this book, A Guide to Internet Learning for Primary and Secondary School Students, aiming to cultivate more new-generation internet users. During the writing process, the authors strived to make the language clear and accessible, making it suitable as a guide for middle and high school students, upper elementary students, and readers unfamiliar with the internet. We hope that while reading the book, students will also spend more time online to gain a deeper, hands-on experience of the internet. When you become skilled internet surfers and citizens of this exciting world of the Internet, the authors will feel immense joy.
