The internet: fun, friends and fears

NetSafe is organising the Digital Citizenship stream at InternetNZ's NetHui 2011 event taking place in Auckland 29 June - 1 July.

In the build up to the event we'll be talking to New Zealanders about their use of the internet and the challenges they face online.

This video asks a diverse group of Aucklanders what they do online, how they get access and what they 'fear' when using the internet.
