Growing Up With The Internet, Teens Need To Sort The Good From The Bad
by Mitchell Levine

Computers have revolutionized communications, and today’s teens have access to vast educational and entertainment resources while online. The Technology Student Association (TSA), a national student organization devoted exclusively to the needs of young people interested in technology, knows it is prudent to protect the privacy and safety of today’s youth.

During its recent national conference in Orlando, Florida, TSA surveyed nearly 600 middle and high school students — out of 4,000 attendees about their views on the effects of spam, their practice of file sharing and other online activities.

About 76 percent of TSA students agree that laws should control spam traffic. They agree that laws should be passed that limit the amount of spam.

While the positives outweigh the negatives regarding the Internet usage, most risks can be avoided when parents and educators provide guidelines and raise awareness about navigating the Internet and how to use it responsibly. For complete TSA Spam/File Sharing Survey results, please call 703/860-9000 or e-mail jlandsman@tsaweb.org.#
