The last thing I looked at while studying children's use of the Internet dealt with Facebook again. I was interested in seeing how many children who had a Facebook used their cellphone to update a status, load a picture, or post on a friends' wall. I was shocked by how many middle school students that I know and am Facebook friends with used their Iphones, Blackberry, or Droid powered phone. I actually am friends with a lot of younger Facebook users because the kids that I babysit who have Facebook friend me a long with their friends.
I am so surprised at how many people who are so young have cellphones. When I babysit, I notice how all of the girls are on their cellphone surfing the Internet. I think technology use among children is on the upward trend. It is important that the Internet is kept safe because of so many younger users. I hope parents are monitoring what their kids too-because most websites are pretty safe, but some are questionable.
I enjoyed following children's Internet use because I remember when I was their age I spent most of my time playing dress up and board games.
