The authors believe that advanced technology is the only intended to be used as a type of thing you may use to get research or connect with people at times. They have made new programs that will help the youth learn more. "The digital world is creating new opportunities for youth to grapple with social norms,explore interests, develop technical skills, and experiment with new forms of self-expression". The authors are trying to show 'us' the readers that technology is not a terfible"waste of time".I can honestly say that most teens mis-use the new technology but a small percentageactually uses it to help and gain newer information."A smaller number of youth also use the online world to explore interests and find information that goes beyond what they have access to at school or in their local community." New site creators have made their programs advanced in a positive way.Not only have they made it more useful to the youth and they are able to learn things more independently.
The authors have made it pretty clear that they believe the new media is a good thing and is very influencial. Companies are still trying to change the minds of the people that dont exactly like technology. They have a lot to back up their statements on how its a great thing. I still dont quite know where I stand on technology so I guess I'm neutral.
In conclusion,after spending some time,three years to be exact; the authors just want to focus on the positive aspect there is to technology instead of focusing on the negative side. Companies only wish to advance and do greater, and better things in the future. In my opinion technology has it's ups and downs but it is also has helped a lot, we should all learn to live with the new media.
