Not a very shocking article in my opinion. The internet is a major element in the world now. Why wouldn’t future generations use it a lot? As I said in my last post, in a couple decades or so, the internet is going to be used by so many more people compared to today’s numbers. Things change, the way society lives will never stay the same, I think that is blatantly obvious. If human beings didn’t change we would be living in caves still refusing fire because it’s different.
The worry that people don’t get out in the world and live life without constant connection isn’t something to stress. Sure I won’t sit here and deny that there are some negative effects to excessive internet use. In all reality too much of anything is bad for you though. Of course there are terrible people that utilize the web, but there are terrible people out in the world too. Simple knowledge about being safe can be taught to kids by parents to help prevent stuff like this. The kids and people who get scammed or hurt by those who cloak themselves in the web are usually unknowledgeable about being safe and not just web safe. Too much good comes from the internet, it inspires people to do things they would have never even heard of or seen before. I could go on for pages about how the pros heavily outweigh the cons.
All this article talks about are percentages of this teens who use the internet for social and content creation and how it’s growing. My feeling is people who have grown up without the internet view this as uneasy news. 28% of the teen population are “super-communicators.” I believe that communication is extremely important in the expansion of someone’s mind, especially younger people.
