Comments 4 Teachers Summary

The first post I read was Doing Better By Generation Y. This article was written by Cathy Davidson. The article is about Generation Y, which by Wikipedia definition means "marked by an increased use and familiarity with communications, media, and digital technologies.” This article discusses the generation who has grown up with technology, internet being the main topic. The blog post states studies now put Internet use by teens at over 30 hours a week. I believe this statement because with so much entertainment available with just a click of a button, people are staying in and sitting on their computer to play games or watch movies.

The second post I read was Cyberbullying: An International Perspective. This post was written by Raquel Recuero. The post discusses the different ways people can bully others over the internet. There have been many bullying instances all over the place. Some people have even committed suicide because the bullying had been taken to far and they couldn't handle everything going on. I invite you to read the article here.
