PBS Frontline: Growing Up Online

In class, we have discussed that nature and nuture both play a role in socialization. As technology further develops it seems that there is a new agent of socialization, the internet. People use the internet for many a things and one of them may be to socialize. Below you will find the link to the PBS Frontline special that aired in 2008. As somethings may have further developed, a lot of the information is still relevant. So take out your headphones, click on the link and start viewing.
