Screenplay : Children And Computing In The Home
Paperback Edition: 1/2004
What are young people really doing on computers at home? Computers feature heavily in the lives of young people and this book sets out to question commonplace assumptions about the use of technology by children at home. Bringing together research from the perspectives of psychology,
sociology, education and media studies, the authors ask whether we are really witnessing the rise of a new "digital generation".Drawing upon the results of their in-depth research project, the authors filter and assess their findings accessibly, offering fascinating reading on: how computers are used in the home; how parents and children negotiate access to and use of the computer; and what role the computer plays in the day to day lives of families. The book makes use of illuminating case studies and highlights key issues of concern around issues of equality and access in a wider social context.
