'Kids know online creepiness when they see it.'
The idea that the internet is rewiring our brain after only 20 years is hubris, she says: there is no evidence for it. None. We do need to renegotiate our relationship with it, though, just like we did with the telephone and telegraph. We should question those who curate our information, such as Google and Facebook, and cultivate what some call “digital stillness”, such as changing the brightness of our screen at night and setting usage limits. Krotoski downloaded the Self Control application to curb her own compulsion.

Amy Jo Martin: "According to a recent study, 78% of parents helped create their children’s Facebook pages, and 7.5 million users are under the age of 13. The way your kids use social today will shape their future. It's time for everyone to get educated on how--and how not--to live online."

Teaching students the importance of having and using manners is nothing new to teachers. However, what has changed is the type of etiquette kids needs today—namely, the digital kind. True, please, thank you and excuse me are still significant, but in addition to these basics, students growing up in this ever-connected, social media crazed world require much more. Concepts such as online privacy, sharing and creating a positive digital footprint through the demonstration of responsible online behaviors are just as vital.

Such a sad story. Remember to tell your kids to 'let it go' if this ever happens to them. It's just not worth it. Shouldn't happen in the first place, but if it does, it's not worth dieing over.
