ABSTRACT

Many kids growing up in the 2010s have the Internet literally at their fingertips. They are able to connect themselves to a global network much more readily than I was at their age. Additionally, they have a tremendous amount of online resources to entertain, educate, communicate, and collaborate. My cousins are able to build the future city of their dreams with their friends online in Minecraft. Schools across the globe have begun providing tablets for student use. YouTube is being used as an educational aid. The Internet has become a truly integral part of youth culture, feeding from the ideas and enthusiasm of young minds.
