New technologies always cause generational panic, which usually has more to do with adult fears than with the lives of teenagers. In the 1980s, the great danger was the Sony Walkman. When you look at today's digital activity, the facts are much more positive than you might expect. Indeed, social scientists who study young people have found that their digital use can be inventive and even beneficial. This is true not just in terms of their social lives, but their education, too. So, if you use a ton of social media, do you become unable, or unwilling to take part in face-to-face contact? Research found that the most enthusiastic texters are also the kids who are most likely to spend time with friends in person. One form of socializing doesn't replace the other. It increases it. Parents are wrong to worry that kids don't care about privacy. In fact, they spend hours adjusting their Facebook settings or using quick delete sharing tools, such as Snapchat, to erase their traces. Or they post a photograph on Instagram, have a pleasant conversation with friends and then delete everything so that no traces remain. This is not to say that kids always use good judgement; they can be careless and make mistakes, sometimes serious ones. But working out how to behave online is a new social skill. While there's plenty of drama and offensiveness online, it is not, for most teens, a cycle of non-stop abuse.
