Growing Up in Cyberspace (English)
IN THIS LESSON
In Session 1, Welcome to Cyberspace, Paul Robertson introduces the concept of cyberspace and its profound impact on young people’s lives, development, and worldview. He contrasts the technology of his youth with today’s pervasive digital presence, highlighting how screens influence how children think, communicate, form relationships, and navigate their identity. Robertson stresses the importance of understanding this "digital Babylon" to guide children toward healthy technology use and cautions against the potential dangers of unregulated screen time. He concludes by emphasizing that while technology is neither inherently good nor bad, its effects depend on how it is used.
