Websites are used as media products more than ever now, and because of this their becomes many problems.

Websites can be accessed via the Internet by anyone of all ages.
audiences can access the Internet via many ways such as:
- Home - router, phone line, broadband, direct and wireless Internet.

Out and about

-Mobile

- laptop


- Work machines

- Public Phone/ Internet/ Email

as I said above the internet can be accessed by everyone but the time you spend using the internet can sometimes changed depending on your age.

they're many issues with the internet such as :

Public space - people may stalk you via social networking sites
Not many laws in place so companies can make money via false advertising
Minors can be easily exposed to pornography by typing one wrong word into google
many people download albums, games and dvds instead of buying them so companies are loosing profit.
youtube allows users to view movies part by part which they may not be permitted to do so
.

with all these issues they're many ways to solve them such as:
allow user to not use as often.
block sites and search words etc.
