Internet Demons:

What are they and how they affect you.

All of us have at some stage, experienced a task that was difficult and hard to do. For some of us it is easy to use the internet.
For others, it is hard. It’s like entering a maze where you either get stuck or go round and round. Not really achieving what you set out to do. Instead of a maze, stopping and/or confusing you, we call it Internet Demons.
We have identified 10 huge Internet Demons actively destroying our internet viewing daily.
They lurk everywhere. They love to get in your way. They hate kids and adults with communication difficulties. They like wasting time and energy.
The 10 Internet Demons act as barriers between you and what you would like to do. Let them take the blame and the shame, not you.
Blame it on the Demons. That is where the blame belongs. The demons affect kids of all ages experiencing some difficulty reading, viewing, translating, accessing and even understanding those millions of internet pages.
But now you can let the demons take the rap and the stick.
