Description
Timely and deeply relevant, the book covers the influence of MySpace and Facebook, the growing appetite for ?anytime, anywhere? media and ?fast entertainment,? how online ?digital gates? reinforce race and class divisions, and how technology is transforming America?s classrooms. Watkins also debunks popular myths surrounding cyberpredators, Internet addiction, and social isolation. The result is a fascinating portrait, both celebratory and wary, about the coming of age of the first fully wired generation.� From the Trade Paperback edition.
