A big ‘Hello’ to our Curious and Creative young ones!

Announcements

This November, Curious Times has started “ME Themes”, where we will have various themes during the month and all our Curious and Creative members can contribute their ideas on those themes.

We are sure that all of us use the internet and on different types of gadgets. Today, we can use the internet for almost everything - from buying things online, to ordering food, taxis, paying school fees, buying tickets and so much more.

So, in a world where we now spend so much of our lives online, cyber security is needed to protect our personal information and corruption of our data. Thus, the topic of cyber security is an important one.

October was a Cyber Security Awareness month, so our first topic was “Internet Security”. We received some wonderful articles by bright readers. We are sure some of the tips will help you to be safe in the virtual world.

Do continue to send your contributions and news stories about any topic you would like to write about a hello@curioustimes.in.

Stay Curious!
