Summary | Children are using new media earlier than ever. The internet is not a playground - violent and sexually explicit material can be easily found online. If children use new media too much, they can become psychologically addicted or get bad posture, become overweight, or get headaches. While there are many benefits of the internet, there are also many dangers. Boys are more drawn toward online games and girls are more at risk to become addicted to communication on social media.

Summary | A day in the life of a 13 year old who receives 200 messages a day. Lina uses her smartphone first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Though her father does not necessarily like her constant use of the smartphone and the notifications all the time, he is not worried about an addicion. Parents were taught about the risks on parent-teacher meetings. Lina is in a ton of group chats and is beginning to use Musical.ly. YouTube is a staple entertainment source for her.
