What is a "hotspot," exactly? Something that gets you on the Internet when you're away from home? And what is the safest kind of hotspot to use?

A hotspot is just an internet connection over a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). If you have a high-speed modem, it probably has WLAN (or Wi-Fi) capability. If you're traveling, some coffee shops offer Wi-Fi.
