How Safe is the Internet?

The Internet was originally designed in 1969 as a convenient way for scientists to communicate. Decades later, when PCs were beginning to become popular, the Internet was viewed as a wonder tool by many. There weren’t the vast array of millions and millions of web pages to surf, and e-mail was a simple matter to send and receive. The commercial implications were only slowly beginning to emerge.
As its popularity grew, so did the opportunities for exploitation. Increasing numbers of Internet marketers saw the value in capturing e-mail addresses and sending out their advertising. This led to excessive spam, which has totally spiraled out of control, and the need for opt-in e-mail lists.

It would be useful to have private chat rooms for everyone to keep current on the latest family news. This, indeed, would be a place where memories and family history could be created and preserved.
Would you visit a web site that made it easy and fun to communicate with family and friends and that had no advertising, no pop-ups or pop-under, and no one interfering with your family members? Does such a web site exist?
