7. From a discussion of the Internet’s effect on young people:

Adam: Is the Internet changing the nature of childhood, or are children changing the nature of the Internet? I think both. I grew up with a computer. I’ve used the computer ever since I was three. When we got an iPad I don’t think I have let it out of my sight. I’ve grown up completely connected to the Net and I definitely wouldn’t be the person I am without it. I also change the Internet. I blog, design Web pages, and belong to many online communities—from Facebook to interactive gaming.

Austin: I think it is a bit of both. Kids are one of the driving forces of the Internet because of our incredible abilities to adapt. If the Internet had come along twenty years down the road, I don’t think that I would adapt to it as quickly as I did. Also, the Internet is changing kids in many ways. Penpals are written to through e-mail and Facebook. Homework assignments are passed around through file attachments and with Blackboard or Moodle.
