Note: you can either do this one or one of the two from last week (video game or advertisements).
Ok, here is the video. Growing Up Online.
It's a bit long, but good. If you'd rather read, here are the relevant interviews.
Please discuss the issues raised in the video -- parental control over the Internet, digital tools in education, cyber-bullying, suicide, social networks and eating disorders. You don't have to touch on all of them -- but whichever strike a chord with you. Reference the video or interviews.
In the case of some of the problems -- what can be done? What should parents be doing? Is the Internet actually increasing teen suicide and eating disorders, or just creating an alternative outlet for people who would seek it even if the Internet didn't exist?
Bonus: Look up the rates of eating disorders and teen suicides and compare pre-Internet years and post-Internet years (of course there could be a lot more factors than just the Internet).
