By Virgin TV Edit
It’s never been more important or easy to keep connected and entertained on our devices, be they smartphones, laptops, or nifty little smart toasters.
But, with cutting-edge technologies and the possibilities they present come risks, with our amazingly intuitive devices making it ever easier for little ones to stray into the wilds of the internet and see something they shouldn’t… or buy a boat and book a hotel room in Berlin.
Luckily, Internet Matters and Virgin Media are on hand with a plethora of handy tips to keep your devices, and theirs, as safe and secure as your grandmother’s recipe book.
Whether it’s step by step parental controls guides that will help you to set up the right controls and privacy settings, learning about how to report online issues, plus advice broken down by age, Internet Matters have covered all bases to ensure each and every device is as little-one proof as possible.
