A major in-depth study examining how teenagers in the UK are using the internet and other mobile devices says the benefits of using such technologies far outweigh any perceived risks.
The findings are based on a large-scale study of more than 1,000 randomly selected households in the UK, coupled with regular face-to-face interviews with more than 200 teenagers and their families between 2008 and 2011.
SO, knowing this NOW, Education should go a step further and HELP protecting the kids by TEACHING the basics of Cyber-Security and Internet-Safety!
BOTH are a MUST in 21st Century, while Internet-Safety is the THEORY and basics of Cyber-Security the ===> PRACTICE! <===
