Internet Safety Movie Transcript

Internet Safety
Movie title reads, "Internet Safety, with Annie and Moby."

A boy, Tim, and a robot, Moby are shown in a BrainPOP movie.

TIM: I don't think this was designed to be flown by a five hundred pound robot.

MOBY: Beep!

TIM: Wait a second, can't you fly anyway?

''Moby is wearing wings and tries to fly. He falls to the ground. A young girl, Annie, and Moby are watching the movie on a computer at school. Moby points to the screen.''

MOBY: Beep.

ANNIE: You know that guy?

TIM: Dear Tim and Moby, Why do so many people talk …

MOBY: Beep.

An instant message from Rocket Ron appears in a chat window.

MOBY: Beep?

Moby points to the instant message and Annie reads it aloud.

ANNIE: Hi there...to chat?

MOBY: Beep.

Moby nods his head yes.

ANNIE: Wait, Moby! Do you know Rocket Ron?

MOBY: Beep.

Moby shakes his head no.

ANNIE: Then how do you know he's safe to chat with?

MOBY: Beep.

Moby shrugs his shoulders.

ANNIE: What should you do if a stranger sends you a message?

Annie's notebook reads: What should you do if a stranger sends you a message?

ANNIE: My friend Becca sends me instant messages when we're online.

Becca sends a message to Annie and Annie writes back.

ANNIE: And my pen pal Jin e-mails me jokes.

Jin sends a joke to Annie.

ANNIE: My parents know that they're safe to e-mail or chat with. But sometimes I get e-mails or messages from people I don't know.

MOBY: Beep?

Moby points to the chat request he received.

ANNIE: Well, Rocket Ron is definitely a stranger. If a stranger contacts you or makes you feel uncomfortable, tell a teacher or a grown-up.

MOBY: Beep.

''Moby raises his hand to get help from a grown-up at the school. Annie's teacher comes over to help.''

ANNIE: They can keep the stranger from bugging you by blocking their e-mails or instant messages.

''A dialog box asks if Moby wants to block Rocket Ron. The teacher clicks "yes" and then closes the instant message box.''

ANNIE: Sometimes I get e-mails from people that pretend to know me or tell me I've won a big prize. If I don't know the sender, I don't open the message.

''Annie's inbox shows she has an e-mail from someone named David. The subject says "Annie, you've won a new computer!!" She deletes the e-mail.''

ANNIE: How can you be safe on the Internet?

Annie's notebook reads: How can you be safe on the Internet?

ANNIE: We're always careful around strangers on the street, and we should do the same with strangers on the Internet.

''A car pulls up next to Moby. The driver calls Moby over. Moby shakes his head no at the stranger and walks away.''

MOBY: Beep!

ANNIE: We should never share our personal information before asking our parents or teacher.

MOBY: Beep?

ANNIE: Well, your name, address, phone number, and birthday are all pieces of personal information.

Images illustrate what Annie describes.

ANNIE: You do not have to share where you go to school, or pictures of yourself.

''A photo shows Moby at school with other kids. Another photo shows him with Annie's family.''

ANNIE: Moby and I only visit websites that are safe for kids.

''Moby and Annie are on the BrainPOP website. An unwanted ad pops up.''

MOBY: Beep.

ANNIE:If we accidentally get to a site that makes us uncomfortable, we tell a grown-up so they can block it.

Annie's teacher comes over to help them.

ANNIE: I know it's important to stay safe on the Internet, but how can you keep your computer safe?

Annie's notebook reads: How can you keep your computer safe?

ANNIE: Moby loves playing games on the computer, and Mia uses images from the Internet in her projects for school.

''Moby plays a computer game. The character in the game looks just like Moby. Mia drags an image from an Internet page on to her desktop.''

ANNIE: But we know we shouldn't download anything without asking a grown-up.

MOBY: Beep.

ANNIE: If you download something from an unsafe website, or open an unsafe e-mail, your computer can get a virus.

MOBY: Beep.

''Moby's thought bubble shows a computer screen with a sad face. It has a thermometer in its mouth and an ice bag on the top of its monitor.''

ANNIE: Yup, a computer virus is kind of like the flu. It's a program that keeps your computer from working the right way, and you can accidentally spread it to other computers.

An animation shows how a computer virus spreads from one computer to others.

MOBY: Beep!

ANNIE: You can also keep your computer safe by using strong passwords.

MOBY: Beep!

Moby holds his arms up and flexes his muscles.

ANNIE: Some people can figure out and steal passwords, so it's important to choose good ones that are hard to guess.

Moby's thought bubble shows a thief carrying a sack of passwords.

ANNIE: Your password should never be your own name. They should be long and use a combination of different letters and numbers.

Moby’s name appears, then it is replaced with three examples of good passwords.

ANNIE: And you should never ever share your passwords with anyone!

MOBY: Beep?

ANNIE: Nope! Not even your best friend! Anyway Moby, there are plenty of ways to be safe on the Internet.

MOBY: Beep.

ANNIE: Uh, maybe that's a little too safe.

''Moby puts a lock and a fence with barbed wire around a computer. He is wearing a security cap, and a sign that says "Keep Out" is hanging on the computer desk.''
