This video is a total and complete propaganda. It only shows a very small portion of the negativities of the Internet. I have stated before, and I will state it here again, children have no business online, though they need to know about how to use the Internet. Why? Today in the 21 Century, we have and will be using it on a day-to-day basis.
The Internet is much more then communicating with physical/virtual friends. Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, and the others are means of what is called, "Social Media." In the few years of social media, it has reached it all time high, and it is still growing at alarming rates. Businesses of all kinds will need these teenagers that are using Facebook, MySpace, etc. for their Internet needs on the job.
Every news program on television has at least one blog per news anchor. To be without the Internet is like living in the past. We have seen from history that anyone that lives in the past is route to a serious disaster. The older generation might be terrified over the fast and continually growing technology age. The younger generation has embraced this wonder like it was always a part of their lives. Teenagers can do more with social media than I ever could, and I was have certificate and three diplomas in the computer field. That is how important teenagers must continually to learn and apply the Internet in their lives.
When I saw the title of this video, "Growing Up Online," I thought it would show the importance of having the younger generation being on line on a day-to-day basis, but to my shock, it was not. Social interaction is a must, and do it online. Online today, we are communicating with people all over the world in real time. Today, businesses are all over the world. All of this would not be possible if we did not have the Internet.
With the Internet we can do things a lot easier and even cheaper. Before business meetings had to have all in the same room. Even in the same country, that would mean that the company would have to buy all those plane tickets, have them a place to live, etc. Now we can even use virtual reality, like SecondLife, to communicate in real time at all sorts of different locations throughout the world. That in turn can make prices of items that the company is selling cheaper for their customers.
It is why teenagers needs to learn all they can now about the Internet and how to interact with it that will in able them to get a wonderful career when they become adults. To successfully learn the ins and outs of social media takes more then a textbook approach. This must be learned on a on hands basis, and it must be learned at a constant basis also. When teenagers do become adults, they just might be needed to be online constantly on the job.
If you were the employer, would you rather have these teenagers that are constantly using the Internet, or someone that hardly knows how to use today's social media formats? That is why this video is complete and total dogma BS! Come on! Frontline and others like them grow up and realize the trends of the technology age.
Blessed Be to Isis and you,
