  • everything being filtered by a small, elite and typically white male cadre of journalists working for one of only three broadcast networks or one or two local newspapers
  • Today’s news consumers can also be producers thanks to blogs, social networking sites, YouTube, podcasting and microblogs like Twitter

  • watched by a high enough percentage of the population that it created a shared experience
  • We all knew it was true even if we didn’t all agree on how we should interpret the implications of what Cronkite told us happened
  • family shared its media experience, probably because we had only one TV set, one newspaper subscription and no Internet
  • dinner together every night in a room with no TV, a household telephone that almost never rang during dinner hour and no mobile devices that let us exchange text messages with people outside the room
  • value in looking at what we might be missing as we move forward, not to repeat the past but to ensure a better future
  • we have to figure it out for ourselves
  • pressure on us to think critically about what we see, hear, read and say
  • an opportunity – and responsibility – for parents and schools to teach critical thinking
  • learn to “consider the source” of what they take in but also think critically about what they post
  • asking questions such as “Is this true?” and “How do I know it’s true?.”
  • think carefully before they broadcast their own versions of “the way it is.”

    This commentary points out critical thinking skills when we read the web and when we publish to the web.

Risk

shared by Susan McDonough on 17 Jul 09 - Cached
  • Adolescents who play more than one hour of console or Internet video games may have more or more intense symptoms of ADHD or inattention than those who do not. Given the possible negative effects these conditions may have on scholastic performance, the added consequences of more time spent on video games may also place these individuals at increased risk for problems in school.

Commentary

  • The research findings are more mixed, however, regarding the effects on children's social development. Although little evidence indicates that the moderate use of computers to play games has a negative impact on children's friendships and family relationships, recent survey data show that increased use of the Internet may be linked to increases in loneliness and depression.
  • The authors conclude that more systematic research is needed in these areas to help parents and policymakers maximize the positive effects and to minimize the negative effects of home computers in children's lives.

      This article is from 2000 so probably more research since then. Still there are benefits as well as risks listed.

      This seems no different from f2f interaction. Positive feedback makes us happy; negative feedback makes us sad.
  • Positive feedback on the profiles enhanced adolescents' social self-esteem and well-being, whereas negative feedback decreased their selfesteem and well-being.

  • "... when kids are online, they're reading, thinking, analyzing, criticizing and authenticating - composing their thoughts. Kids use computers for activities that go hand-in-hand with our understanding of what constitutes a traditional childhood. They use the technology to play, learn, communicate and form relationships as children always have. Development is enhanced in an interactive world

      This article is a little dated but I think the conclusion still holds true and is not really a modern problem. Parental neglect has never been a good thing - Internet or no Internet.
