Arielle's post made me think a lot about the Internet and how it's actually causing a lot of young kids to grow up faster. Since the Internet is so big and you can't control what content gets put on there, there's a lot of stuff out there that could be detrimental to kids. Not to mention the fact that kids seem to be one of the primary audiences online - they have taken over Twitter, Youtube, and Facebook. They're definitely exploring all the possibilities that the web has to offer. In fact, in the documentary we watched the woman said that it was lucky she had her younger daughter to explain the world wide web and emails and new technology to her. So are they brave little explorers or growing up too fast? I think that they are actually making it a lot easier for us because they create this new frontier that we can learn from. Talking to a 14 year old can actually be one of the best things to do in the social media field because they always know the terminology (hashtags, etc) and how to complete tasks using the social media networks. I think that it's good they're out there, and it's definitely beneficial to them - especially for school and socializing. They are learning skills at a young age that most of us caught on to in high school. So that part is definitely a pro. I think that it will be interesting to see what the next generation will bring to the technological table.
