The Internet has been with us for a few decades, not really that many, and it has managed to change our way of life to the point that business, politics, society and even tastes revolve around the Internet.

Google has been carrying out a very interesting campaign to teach the basic concepts of Internet use and security, a campaign that is worth supporting because it helps reduce the digital divide and improve technological inclusion worldwide, so I want to share the website  http://www.20thingsilearned.com/es-419 with you , it is completely in Spanish and accompanied by fun graphics, very much in the Google style, which makes it very easy to understand.
