A Study of Children's Attitudes and Reactions to the New Technology.

Diem, Richard A.

Social Education, v49 n4 p318-20 Apr 1985

Children's (ages 8-12) interactive social responses to computers were examined. Results showed that students had not considered the social implications of using another's data. When infringements of their rights to privacy took place, students demanded penalties. Students showed preference for group problem-solving strategies. (RM)
