Generation Digital

More about the book

This book examines the ways in which the new media landscape is changing the nature of childhood and adolescence, and analyzes recent political debates that have shaped both policy and practice in digital culture. The media have pictured the so-called digital generation in contradictory ways: as bold trailblazers and innocent victims, as active creators of digital culture and passive targets of digital marketing. This, says the author, reflects our ambivalent attitude toward both youth and technology.
