      Dear Reader,

      Technology makes life so much easier! No more getting

      lost, thanks to map apps. A face-to-face talk with your

      favorite aunt who lives on the other side of the world

      can take place right on your screen. When a word trips

      you up while you’re reading, the definition is a tap away

      in your e-book. And that’s just for starters. The truth

      is, digital technology is changing the way we live every

      day, in almost every way.

      Even with all the benefits, though, the online world

      can be tricky to navigate. Just like when you’re riding

      a bicycle, you need to know the risks and the rules

      for staying safe. Life in the digital sphere also means

      making decisions about how you present yourself every

      time you go there. You might even feel like you’re living

      two different versions of yourself: the real you and the

      virtual you.

      This book shows you how to be true to the real you,

      how to take care of yourself, and how to make the

      most of digital technology. Advice from real girls will

      help you use this technology without getting sucked

      into drama. Quizzes will test your online safety smarts.

      You’ll discover ways that tech can help you manage

      things like schoolwork. And best of all, you’ll find tons

      of ideas for connecting with friends, family, classmates,

      and other citizens of the digital world.
