This book provides a positive look at how parents and their children can navigate online communities.It focuses on MySpace generation - MySpace is the 4th most popular English language website with over 86 million members and counting. It is written by a mediagenic author who has appeared on CNN and Good Morning America and has been featured in dozens of publications ranging from "Newsweek" to "USA Today". It is a major national study which includes Rosen's findings after interviewing over 1500 MySpacers and their parents. It highlights how young people have mastered multi-tasking and new forms of community. Reassuring in tone, Rosen reveals that negative aspects of MySpace have been blown out of proportion-for most kids it is simply a way to build friendships and community.With his extensive background in both child development and the impact of technology, Dr. Rosen uses down-to-earth explanations of sound psychological theory, incorporates groundbreaking research, and shows parents and educators how social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook can improve adolescent socialization skills.
