    Digital immigrants might not take easy access quite so much for granted. If I am doing research and have to actually make a trip to the library, jump on my bike and go across town. I consider it a time drain. Although when I was living a rural community with no academic library, I longed for the easy access of just going across town. Now that there is Google Scholar and Google books I wonder why I have to log in to my institutions web site, and go through 6 different hoops to get to the data base and article of interest. It is getting better all the time though. My library is setting up Google Scholar to get direct access to some databases.

  • The factors that make youths vulnerable to seduction by online molesters are complex and related to immaturity, inexperience, and the impulsiveness with which some youths respond to and explore normal sexual urges.

      The whole concept of adult hood has shifted as a result. Thinking of the woman who was censured for putting her 9 yr old on the subway. Not sure how this applies to online predators.

      Much of what is published in the MSM about social networking and the internet in general is designed to emphasize the hazards. predators, identity theft, viruses etc. Usually hot button emotional issues. Same old deal, people love to be horrified. It sells alot of papers. In an attention economy it is getting harder to attract attention. A good "scary internet" story attracts attention and sells papers.
