Frontline: Growing Up Online
On the subject of protecting the young on the Internet, Frontline’s documentary Growing Up Online tries to explore the Internet teen culture and the gap between parents and teens in the US. If you are interested in these issues, I recommend you watch it. Some thoughts after watching it:
- The impact of the Internet on us will be akin to how popular music changed the world in the past. Pop culture is so infused in our lifes today we think nothing of its ubiquity. Internet Social Networking is the new Rock N Roll.
- In pop music, trends change and evolve. From rock n roll to rock, punk, disco, electronica, metal, grunge, R&B, rap and now hip hop. It will be the same for Internet culture.
- Teens, parents and the authorities all have different views about the dangers on the Internet. Teach both parents and teens about the potential dangers of sharing personal information online. Restrictions/bans don’t work. The best way to tackle these issues is still the parent-child unit.
