An illuminating study of the complex relationship between children
and media in the digital age Now, as never before, young people are
surrounded by media-thanks to the sophistication and portability of
the technology that puts it literally in the palms of their hands.
Drawing on data and empirical research that cross many fields and
continents, authors Valkenburg and Piotrowski examine the role of
media in the lives of children from birth through adolescence,
addressing the complex issues of how media affect the young and
what adults can do to encourage responsible use in an age of
selfies, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. This important study
looks at both the sunny and the dark side of media use by today's
youth, including why and how their preferences change throughout
childhood, whether digital gaming is harmful or helpful, the
effects of placing tablets and smartphones in the hands of
toddlers, the susceptibility of young people to online advertising,
the legitimacy of parental concerns about media multitasking, and
more.
