ABSTRACT
With the exponential development of electronics industry, smartphones have become a common commodity found with almost everyone irrespective of the age group providing easy access to Internet. While Internet proves to be one of the best sources for learning almost everything, an unguided exposure to it may pose serious security issues and even lead to hampering of children's growth. In our study we found that the Internet Security related problems have been on an all-time high in the past decade. It is also found that the most affected age group was 13--20 years of age and that in most cases the issues could have been avoided or at least easily resolved if the family members of the cyber victims had been more aware. In India, cybercrime and victimization in the cyber space has remained a subject of great consternation, but lacks cognizance. This paper primarily focuses on digital awareness trends amongst people of various age groups and an initiative to help make society a safer place for everyone by providing a one-stop solution to the most commonly experienced Internet Safety issues in the form of free android app "Cyber Security Guide". This paper also highlights the key features and benefits of app. Our paper will also encompass the following: (a)Objectives (b) Introduction (c)Need for Internet Safety and Digital Citizenship (d)Case Studies (e)Research on Students' Problems (f)Development of CSAO (g)Probable solution to the problem (h)Salient Features of App (i)Response from our Users (j)Limitations (k)Conclusions and (l)Future Scope.
