Google teamed up with industry associations and public and private partners, including Disney, apparently, to produce 300,000 copies of a special edition of Donald Duck magazine in Norway. <\/p>\n

The issue focuses on cybersafety, and features Donald Duck<\/a>, Daisy Duck<\/a>, Huey, Dewey, and Louie<\/a>, among other familiar Disney duck faces. <\/p>\n

“Kids growing up in this digital age use the Internet for pretty much everything; entertainment, communication, education and when they get that far; new technologies will play an important role in their work,” says<\/a> Martin Ruby for Google Public Policy, Copenhagen. “Never has a generation needed digital guidance as the one growing up now. And we were thinking: who would be a better digital guide for kids than Donald Duck?”<\/p>\n

“In the book, Donald gets himself into trouble,” explains Ruby. “He is guarding his uncle\u2019s fortune with the help of a gigantic robot but trying as always to charm Daisy Duck – this time on the Internet. An unsuspecting Donald is lured into downloading a virus and giving away his password to Magica de Spell on ‘Duckbook’. No surprise: she takes control of the robot and the fortune.<\/p>\n

Good thing it’s realistically practical, acknowledging that far more ducks are using Duckbook than Duck+. <\/p>\n

Ruby notes that it all ends well, and Donald gets a prize for his digital skills. <\/p>\n
