Title: Young Australians: safe in Cyberspace ?

Are today's teenagers going to be obsesses with killing zombies forever?

How much 'screen time' is too much?  Can education compete with 'Call of Duty'?

Technology and new media have dramatically changed the way in which young people interact with their world, shaping relationships and redefining 'being connected'.  The flip side of the technology revolution is the rise of serious challenges for young people: cyberbullying, social isolation and discrimination.

An unprecedented opportunity exists to create technology-savvy tools to address cybersafety, mental health and wellbeing online.

Dr Michelle Blanchard, Emerging research leader in teh field of young people, technology and wellbeing
