Video on Internet Influence

In class we watched a video high lighting different ways the internet can affect the youth in America. In this video their was a mother who constantly monitored what her children did on the internet. To me this mother seemed to be over protective. Kids are going to find a way to rebel. In this day and age the internet could be one of the outlets for teenage rebellion. If the internet didn't exist they would find a different way to rebel. One part of new generations coming into their own is, their will undoubtedly be apects of that generation that older generations find offensive or distasteful. In order for this cycle to continue the media aimed at the newer generations must be more offensive than the media aimed at older generations when they were younger. A good example of this is Elvis. Elvis seems tame to teenagers now, but their grandparents found his dancing to be provacative and offense. On the same note teenagers now enjoy rap music, which more offend than not offends their parents. But those same parents were the one who listened to Elvis when they were teenagers.
