CYBERKIDS draws together research in the sociology of childhood and social studies of technology to explore children's experiences in the Information Age. The book addresses key policy debates about social inclusion and exclusion, children's identities and friendships in online and offline worlds, and their relationships with families and teachers. It counters contemporary moral panics about corruption and lost innocence from adult-centered material on the web and about the addiction to life on the screen. Instead in showing how children used ICT in balanced and sophisticated ways, the book draws out the importance of everyday uses of technology and the ways in which children's local experiences are embedded within, and in part, constitute the global.
