We have abandoned our children to the internet

Young people are addicted to a virtual world that is designed to keep them hooked with little care for collateral damage


The media article is about how teens tend to only interact via social networking and don't get out as much as they should. The writer; Beeban Kidron; talks about her own experiences when she walks into a kitchen and finds half a dozen teens sitting all in silence each on their smartphones. She also goes on to talk about how girls especially look on social networking sites at celebrities and other girls and the fact that they are insecure about their own appearance due to this. 
The ironic part about the article is that the teens she interviewed said they were angered because of their parents not giving them attention due to their own eyes fixed on electronic devices.
companies have gained a ton of money by exploiting young teens due to them being insecure about their figure.
