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.
