Children and the Internet - Children, Demographics, And The Internet, Marketing To Children Online, Online Pornography, Privacy - AN UNRESOLVED FUTURE
More than any other group, children have been a center of controversy on the Internet. American youth access the Internet for school, communication, shopping, and recreation. Children's relationship with the Internet has attracted the attention of Internet providers, marketers, advertisers, teachers, lawmakers, and public interest groups. The Internet's role in education, the online collection of children's personal information, and the nature of the material available on the Web, raise a host of controversial issues, including freedom of access to information, regulation of Web site content, and invasion of children's privacy, along with broader issues of social equality, education, and the regulation of business.
AN UNRESOLVED FUTURE
While the myriad issues surrounding children and the Internet create a complex web of conflicting interests, ethical complications, and social and economic implications, the Internet is here to stay, and kids are becoming increasingly sophisticated about incorporating it into their daily lives.
