Growing Up Online
I felt that the documentary Growing Up Online was fairly well made a put together, but it showed the down-side to the internet. The people they chose to interview, for the most part, were somewhat on the extreme end of the spectrum. For example, a lot of kids get teased online, but very few committ suicide. Another example is the girl with the eating disorder going online to pro-”Anna” sites. She just as easily could have found a site to help her move past her anorexia.
As for PTO mom, I think she is very out of touch. She reminds me of Ted Stevens in way, she knows very little about the internet and yet she feels very strongly about how much control she wants to have over it.
