Product Description
Young people spend hours online each day online, and their abilities to multitask and communicate are often misunderstood by older generations. Dr. Larry Rosen offers a full overview of the various issues young people may experience in their online worlds (cyberbullying, addiction, sexuality, virtual friendships, and more) while at the same time challenging commonly held beliefs that these communities are damaging. Instead of using scare tactics, the book shows parents how to be proactive and anticipate potential problems. With his extensive background in both child development and the impact of technology, Dr. Rosen uses down-to-earth explanations of sound psychological theory, incorporates groundbreaking research, and shows parents and educators how social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook can improve adolescent socialization skills.

Enlightening
15 Jan 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The authot has done a very good investigation with 2.500 teens and children. He has de vocabulary and the concepts fron psychology to apply them to the Internet. So Internet is not so new for him.
He not just writes about social network sites but about all the problems that the internet brings into home: addiction, sex, isolation, bullyng
