For one thing, some evidence shows that the nore time adolescents spend on sucial media sites, the mutre antsocial they can become, not wanting to spend'real' time with their friends andfamilies. Certainly, sitting in front of the monitor for hours does not promote a healthy body. And, finally, because of the anonymity of the Internet, many young people can become victims to online predators. Does this mean that these new natives of the digital landscape should abandon it in favor of the real world? No; everyone agrees on the benefits of having access to a wide variety of information, games, and entertainment. What the new digital natives need to remember is moderation. They should make time to exercise, read books, and visit face to face with family and friends, and use the Internet as a tool to build a new future; not as a refuge from unplugged reality.
