Let Kids Run Wild Online, by Danah Boyd

Today, many teenagers own mobile phones, smartphones, iPods, iPads, and most of the latest electronics on the market. We also have social media sites such as Instagram, Snapchat, Kik, Myspace and Facebook. Many people also say that teenagers are "addicted" to mobile phones and can not let go. In Danah Boyd's article 'Let kids run online in wild', she explains that some parents are "helicopter parents" who track and monitor their online activities. Danah Boyd encourages parents to re-track and monitor and let the children do what they want to do online.

In 2014, Dana Boyd wrote an article entitled "Let's Make Children Infatuate". In this article, she pointed out that parents should allow children to online for free, not to track, monitor and block their online activities. She believes that parents should establish a communication channel with their children to teach their children how to safely browse the Internet (Boyd). Not everyone agrees with Boyd's idea. Some people think that parents need to monitor their online activity to protect them from pornography, cyber bullying, online predators, identity theft, etc. (Woyd). Two Virginia state social research teachers opposed Boyd from an educational point of view. They state that the tools used by their students are "not for courageous new ideas but for complete fun". They insist that teachers use simple teaching techniques in the classroom away from the educational technology course.

In SXSW Edu, technical social researcher Danah Boyd pointed out this year, attempts to improve school media literacy tend to be counterproductive. Checking the credibility of articles in Fox News in classes may be regarded as an "elite" attack on their values ​​by working classes and evangelical youth. Mr. Boyd believes that by educating young people to understand the information field without increasing distrust, "I think that the media is lying if young people are encouraged to criticize the press" I am concerned that it is very difficult

As Danah Boyd points out, the investment in technology and the pursuit of eternity are more clearly defined by value and lifestyle than generation. Some young people want to get rid of the online world and are tired of ongoing contact pressure, but some adults are keen on digital technology. But young people want to explore the digital world. Different types of social media and connected models, especially for younger generations, may have different uses depending on who is connecting on a particular platform. For example, Facebook is a platform on which people can contact family and colleagues and therefore represents a specific, potentially more censored, or conservative aspect of self.
