U2 #8 - Ayala Silverman

In class we watched the show Frontline - Digital Nation, which talked about media, how people use it, and the affect it has on people who use and don't use it. I distinctly remember seeing how different teenagers used media to post about themselves and talk to others, and how it wasn't used in the best way. It's important to watch shows like this so that people can see what goes on in media. It's also good to watch because it tells us what a lot of dangers and hazards are so we can better protect ourselves. If I have a family in the future I would make rules and set limits for using media. I would also make sure to go over what they should try to be aware for and what to avoid. It's important to talk with family about media to keep them safe and make sure they're okay. I would tell parents that don't know how to protect their kids online a summary of what can go on in media and that they need to check to see if their kids are using media in bad ways.
