Growing Up Online

In this documentary by the Frontline, children describe how their lives have been impacted by technology. The technology mainly focused on is the internet. Some children find freedom through the internet. It has become like a diary except nothing is kept personal it is displayed for the world to see. For instance one girl finds her chance to fit in online. She has fans that appreciate and care for her while the people in her society don’t. Except the internet isn’t always a trust worthy site. It is also a place where child molester and such lure their prey. So many parents have turned to filtering and watching over their children’s use of the internet. From this video we concur that this documentary displays the two opposing sides of children’s use of the internet.

Kids and Money

What does money mean to the children of todays society? Well according to this documentary, children believe that money is very important. Money has become such a value because the children feel the need to have an expensive style, big homes, luxury cars and to be pampered. In this documentary, we view these childrens lives and how money revolves around them. They spend tons of money to fit in by getting expensive clothing, prada, massages, hair cuts, etc. I could not believe these children actually believe they have to spend thousand of dollars to fit in todays society. Especially those who are at such a young age. All that they spend money on are on materialistic things, they have no meaning. It is everyones personality and individual traits that is of importance. Not money and I truly hope that these kids learn that.
