<br/><br/> "It's unclear whether the relative ease of digital communication boosts or harms developing young adults. While it may widen social circles, it also raises questions about whether skills suffer that are needed to handle the vibrant, breathing real world....While their time spent in front of the computer and online has grown, teens are spending less time on other social activities. In a 2004 survey of youths age 13 to 18...the number of teens going to the mall and out on dates dropped by 5 percent, compared to 1997. Those going to dances decreased by 10 percent." (ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH) This article examines how the Internet has affected the social development of teenagers.
