"Although statistics show that the use of the Internet by adults is high and continues to rise,3 McGrath (2009) suggested that young people use technology in a different way to adults - adult use tends to be for more practical or business purposes, whereas for young people, technology is a vital part of their social life and identity development."

Sugata Mitra's "Hole in the Wall" experiments examine what students can self learn with computer technology.

And third, OLPC started out with a dream, a vision so strong that it inspired and motivated others to change their way of thinking too."

Our pace of life should not be a race against the clock Very often, the cause is to be found on the side of the excessive occupation of the young and their lack of rest. Parents, wanting to give them the best and see them succeed, sometimes do too much. As soon as the school is finished, the children go on with their extracurricular activities (sports, music, language lessons), their homework, bathing, dinner ... They follow the rhythm of life, often hectic, of their parents forever do more and better. A race against the clock difficult to hold in the long term for children as adults.

Most networks are prohibited to children under 13 years old. Many young people still fill their profile with fake birth dates ... Do not accept it and watch your child. In case of problems, if you request social networks (for example for the deletion of data), you will be asked for an identity card to prove that you own the account. If the information does not match, such as age, the site may refuse to cooperate.
