D. Boyd, describes children online as taking up space. There are different children from different cultures with all sorts of ideals. Children online assume they are not harming anyone online they look at their behavior online as “normative behavior.” Boyd, Ellison, Byrne, Steinfeld and Lampe feels the same things that happen face-to-face with children will also happen online. Children still play, joke, flirt, and take pictures. SNS can identify a person in a way they want to present themselves. One major benefit is meeting people all over the world that comes from varies of cultures. I find it amazing to meet people all over the world and just start up a conversation with them. On Twitter it’s really cool because someone would ask a question such as, “What celebrity would you date?” and everyone starts answering it. It’s funny because mines was Mekhi Phifer the actor and my Twitter fans would say something like, “Girl he don’t want you!” lol. Now the major drawback would be getting too personal with someone you do not know. The reason being you really don't know if the person is really identifying themselves.
Great blog... I agree the internet is more designed for kids but at the same time who is paying attention to the emerging electronics? Kids... And young people 16-25 They are driving the market for ipads and iphones... It's amazing how older people just don't seem to care...
ReplyDeleteAGREED, younger kids are getting their licenses to drive the internet before the older kids now. They will steer our future into a "no privacy" world no thanks to Zuckerberg. Technology has a long way to go, but I feel like our younger generations are causing a speed bump.
ReplyDeleteI agree, young people are being spoiled by new technology today that will hurt them later in life.
