Internet Safety
It's quick, easy and fairly safe. That's how most of us see the internet. More than half of all homes in New Zealand have a computer and many of us use it to hook into the world wide web and take care of our banking and shopping. But who's taking care of us? Well, no-one and that's why the internet safety group has launched a nation-wide campaign to tell us what we need to do to survive in the big wide world of the web. The NetSafe campaign offers some simple tips on protecting the information that, in the wrong hands, can ruin your life. Bryan Seymour with information that virtually all of us need to know.

Silly Days
With the election and politics dominating news headlines over recent months, it's quite possible you missed some seriously significant dates. For example international Talk Like a Pirate Day may have passed you by, you may have accidentally missed Mother In-Law Day, Scare a Friend Day or perhaps Synergy Week International. Frankly it doesn't matter what day, week or month of the year it is, there's always some weird and wonderful observance that seems to be attached to the date. In New Zealand we tend to be relatively restrained about such celebrations but not so in the United States. John Sellwood investigates with the help of Jon Gadsby, Jim Hopkins, Pete Lewellyn and Robin Judkins.
