“And many high-status opportunities - from higher education to new forms of employment - expect people to be media literate and technologically advanced. It behoves all of us to move past assumptions about today’s youth. Both adults and youth need to develop media literacy and technological skills to be active participants in our information society. Learning is a lifelong process”

(Boyd, 2014, p. 198).

because it’s complicated

“Teens find social media appealing because it allows them access to their friends and provides an opportunity to be a part of a broader public world while still situated physically in their bedrooms. Through social media, they build networks of people and information. As a result, they both participate in and help create networked publics”.

(Boyd, 2014, p. 201).
