Since the beginning of time there have been gaps in the opinions of older and younger generations. We all remember those arguments with our parents when they would tell us to put away the video games and go outside like they did when they were younger. Opinions related to music, leisure, and dating all vary from generation to generation.
According to the video Growing Up Online, there is yet another gap in the opinions of generations; this time having to do with privacy. It seems younger generations are much less concerned with privacy compared to older generations. Many link this change with the growth of the Internet.
The video highlights the negative effects this may have on Internet use, such as online predators having access to underage children's information. They cover the bullying epidemic and teen suicide as well.
Surely the effects can not all be negative. What are some positive effects of growing up online? Think about class discussions and how the Internet creates new ways to make social change.
