Survey
Concerning the article about a graph for usage of the internet according to age. To some degree I agree with the author. This really does seem like a maturity chart. Older adults are using the internet, but are more discreet in what they write. The younger generation does use technology more because they are growing up with it. My husband and I can remember the first personal computer. And now we have I pads. My grand daughter who is three years old plays games on her mom's I phone. What a change! Have we come a long way or what! I do agree that a lot of younger people are not to smart with what they post or send through the wire. In a couple of years when they have matured they will probably do another survey with a lot of the same results. The only difference is like the author said and that is they will be the ones who have matured.

We might be the only ones who agree with the author of the article. I think that once more of the youngest generation experiences the negative consequences of putting to much information online two things could happen: 1) We'll use social networking sites less often or 2) We'll still use social networking sites, we just won't do things like "Check In" on Facebook. Now that a lot of school districts are doing more on Internet safety, hopefully the next generation will be a bit more aware of the negative consequences of overusing social networking sites.
