- Proposed Digital Natives session*
This session aims to explore the social implications of young people's use of the Internet and other information and communication technologies, by drawing on the findings of the Digital Natives project. Investigating young people's behaviors and attitudes towards ICTs is crucial for informing debates about the future shape of the Internet. This session will explore the main findings of the project and will try to identify future areas of research and policy intervention.
Broad questions that can be explored: 1) Civic engagement, participatory culture, creativity 2) Copyright and culture of sharing 3) Privacy, Safety, Bullying
