  • 2007 study shows that CMC is the most popular form of communication for youth in the United States and the Netherlands, with 84% of the teenage population using it at their primary form of communication.
  • In an article from 2006 Dr Michael Brody discussed the impact that digital media has on today’s youth. Dr Brody finds that the main impact is psychological. Youth are more narcissistic, self absorbed and isolated than previous generations. He thinks this may be due to the ability youth now have in publicizing themselves on social media sites such as MySpace or Facebbok.
  • As Much as you think you are great multitasker, research shows you are not.
  • When you multitask, you are less likely to keep the information you need stored nicely and neatly within your own head.
  • "Internet Gaming." CNN. CNN, 2010. Web. 26 Sept. 2010.
  • South Korea has been one of the hardest hit nations for internet addiction.
  • In April the South Korean Government passed a law to limit internet usage among school age children. From midnight to 8 am school age children are not allowed to use on-line games.
  • Digital media has had a huge impact on politics within South Korea. In the last election when it looked like the favorite candidate of the Korean youth would lose the last presidential election, his supporters went on chat rooms to drum up support for him. Within minutes over 800,000 emails and texts were sent urging the youth of Korea to go vote for Roh Moo Hyun. The email blasts started at 11am and by 2 pm when the polls closed Roh Moo Hyun was declared the winner.
