Science without consciousness  is the ruin of the soul 

We may not exaggerate if we call the current generation of children and young people the title of "Internet generation." World figures indicate that the use of young people to the network has increased  very rapidly in the world, and the danger of  the Internet opens the doors of all immoral images to young people, Absence of ethical controls, which makes them a means of destroying values, morals, families and communities .

The computer has opened up new horizons for young people. For them, the Internet has become a new time-consuming wizard, offering them broad avenues for unsafe adventure, which poses a strong threat to ethical values ​​and makes them susceptible to different kinds of information, images and events that do not suitable for their dental stages.

There are strong indications that a large segment of young people use the Internet to exchange appointments, establish immoral  relations from different countries, and those who enter chat rooms are well aware of this, so we say: The And if the moral controls of youth fail, this newcomer will become a means of destroying values, morals, families and communities.

The network has become a forum for young people, who are afraid to meet publicly. They can communicate with each other via e-mail or chat through chat rooms.

Perhaps the moral dangers of the young people are increasing day after day, they have opened the doors of immorality in all its forms, and without limits or controls, and threw them in the vicinity of immoral crashing, and the depths of vice deep, crushing boy and girl to throw them in the sea of ​​vice and deviation, and export through the Internet exceeded all borders and perceptions, despite the great dangers of immorality on the communities.

It is not only young people, but the dazzling screen attracts millions of children around the world, who walk around different locations without conscious awareness of what is presented to them, and its impact on children's culture, values ​​and ethics, which has witnessed a great increase in use of nets in recent years. And the negative impact on children cannot be ignored, the figures confirm that more than 50%   may be more ,  of students dropped their level of education, and the hole majority   of teachers believe that the suspension of children in the school does not benefit them .

One of the findings of a research is that the main reason that drives young people to use the Internet is learning, where 48% of them communicate in order to obtain information and facts, while the goal of 26% is to read their e-mail.

The responsibility to protect our  generation lies primarily with the parents, as they must immunize their children with education, religion and ethics from everything that is immoral  and corrupt on the Internet, and provide the means that will control the adventures of young people in the world of computer and smartphones ,  as they do in the areas of life.

It is also the responsibility of the various educational and upbringing institutions, which must play a role in educating young people about the bad uses of society and directing them to useful and constructive sites, whether cultural, social ,  religious,  or historical.

There are computer programs that can block most unwanted sites for children, and there is also another technique for preventing dangerous travel of children on different websites, through the use of control programs, and suggestions to be taken if the children use the wrong separation of electricity and closure of the device

It has become known that countries that impose strict laws on the dissemination of immoral  in a low rate of crimes and programs of blocking and prevention possible, has been tested in some schools and achieved a success rate, which calls for concerted efforts and develop techniques to protect the rising generation from electronic crimes ……
