A research report says that virtual worlds can be important places where children practice what they will do in real life. They are also a powerful and attractive
alternative to more passive adventures like watching TV. Children explore the online world alone, but they use message boards to share what they find and what they do in the different creative studios around the virtual space.
In the study, children at times are explorers and at others they are social networkers eager to connect with other players. Some are power users looking for more information about how the virtual space really works. The children can try all kinds of things without having to be afraid of the consequences that will follow.

Business people find it convenient to keep a laptop computer at hand when they travel out. They will probably need to send and receive e-mail messages, chat with clients, transfer documents, images or videos, check the weather conditions--or just log into online social service accounts (Facebook, Line or Twitter, to name a few) to read the recent posts. None of the above-mentioned activities can be done without internet connection.
That's where “Darkhotel” comes in. Darkhotel is a computer virus which goes into electronic devices when people connect to hotels’ wireless networks—even in luxurious and expensive hotels. Wi-Fi devices users are invited to download software that pretends to be an update for Google Toolbar, Adobe Flash, Windows Messenger or similar apps. As business people install software of this kind, they become victims of Trojan-like backdoor viruses. From there, the hackers are able to obtain passwords, login information and other more precious private data.
What business travelers should keep in mind is that all wireless networks are potentially dangerous. They should avoid downloading any software updates unless there is strong evidence that they are free from harm.

(A) A computer virus aimed at the Wi-Fi users.
