The Internet is an unregulated medium that is constantly changing.   
While it offers access to material that can be enriching to people of all 
ages, it gives access to some material that may be offensive, 
disturbing, inaccurate, or out of date.  Users are encouraged to take 
advantage of the Internet, and to exercise good judgment and 
discretion in their use of it.
