Growing up Online - Nile Ward

We watched the show "Growing up Online."
1 This show was about how today's generation of children have grown up in an age where technology is almost always accessible. It also talks about the effects of growing up online can have on today's generation.

2 The most memorable thing about this show was the fact that parents don't even know what their kids are doing since they hide away in their rooms and surf around on social media almost nonstop.

3 It is very important to watch these types of shows because as shown in the movie, the parents seemed unaware that their children had publicized themselves so much on the Internet. And, if the parents were aware that their kids were on social media and watched this show, they would understand how risky it is being online 100% of their time. It is also important to watch these types of shows because not only did this show give information, but it also showed actual kids who were affected by growing up online.

4 To keep my future family safe online, I will make sure I interact with kids all the time in order to be sure that they are not in any danger. Another action I will take is to prevent them from getting on any dangerous social media at all to ensure that they are not giving any personal or important information away, which is very easy to do online, and it's very easy to be found if important information is being given away online.

5 It is important to talk with my family about internet safety because once you have one device on the net, you can be easily found with a simple IP address or serial number. And who knows what could happen when you are tracked down by someone.

6 I would tell parents who don't know about their kids being safe online is to talk with them, to enhance conversational skills, and to monitor them to make sure they are not doing unsafe actions online.
