Social Media Dangers Documentary — Childhood 2.0 technology documentary

Such a great film to educate parents and help them to open up their eyes to online dangers! All the reason why as an Internet Crimes Against Children Investigator I have educated on the importance of no devices in the Bedroom or Bathroom! Be the Parent and Be aware of what they are doing and who they are talking to. Bark is an amazing tool to intercept inappropriate content. Having conversations with your child around these dangers and letting them know that they can talk to you is still important!! Like Brian says catching one or two of these predators is just a fish in an ocean, educating and equipping our kids to make safer choices online is key!!

I can say that social media has a much smaller impact on kids playing outside than the removal of parks in cities to instead build giant appartment complexes for families with kids to live in. I was born in 94 and I didn't have a park near my appartment complex. Everything was already covered in concrete, and in front of the building, you simply can't let a kid play. And you can't let your kids play in the city wihtout a supervisor, in general. It's the reason I spent most time indoors, because my parents simply didn't have time to walk me to a place far awal and sit there until I was finished running around. There still aren't enough parks and playing grounds in my city area. You can blame the internet, but where was the internet in the 90s when I grew up? We had the same issues as kids and teens. When I was a teen, I met up with my friends indoors most of the time, too. And we didn't have smartphones back then!

another video on the internet that made me so glad I went to an all girls school and didn't have social media till I was 16 yikes

As a 32 year old millennial, I’m so grateful to have known what life was like pre-internet times. We still played outside during our childhood and during our tween/teen years saw the rise of the internet, how it shaped the world and still knew how to navigate it all. Our generation was really during that transitional period so it was a nice medium. I remember actually talking on the phone for hours with friends and sending handwritten letters to them in the mail. Social media didn’t even really take off until my sophomore year of high school (2005) starting with MySpace and Facebook gaining popularity during senior year (2007). I can’t even imagine what teens have to go through now. The need to post every & anything and sharing the most intimate parts of your life (and body) is so toxic. It’s unfortunate that that’s a world you guys have to live in. Great documentary to say the least! The ending almost had me teary-eyed thinking about my future children.

You can still have a phone to contact your friends. You are not required to use social media.

Anxiety and depression. That’s what it leads to eventually.

Why am I seeing this now?! 💔

This could be one of the most important films of the decade. I hope a lot of people see it.

i’m 17 and i deleted every single one of my social media in the last weeks, plus the accounts. now it’s youtube’s turn. to delete my youtube’s account i’d have to delete google too, so right now i’m just removing the app. bye bye, idk if i’ll ever come back

Count how many times you hear the word "Like" in this video. Like Its literally like every other word…like wow…

Why blur the predators photos?

I discovered a lot of the wrong reading material in the late 70s. It traumatized me and I still remember the pictures and stories. I was under 10 with the reading ability of an adult.

came here to say my child will jot.be on scocial media till they are like 14

Relax!! These kids will grow up just fine.

I've been social media clean for 4 years and I love it

10:53 whaaaat???? How do you people live like this?

Wow! This is so scary and Gross. What kind of boys is society raising? What sort of future are our kids facing when physically and emotionally they are showing up with their pants down ready for service. Jesus ! Very alarming as a society the conditioning of our kids and the adults they will be become. Will they know love or how to care and be present in a loving connection with others ? Will they show up for themselves or the people they connect with? Will that be even a value ?
Wow!

…and still no action against social media

Thank you for this documentary. Very eye-opening!

''Get them while they're young'' the best business idea, McDonalds has been doing it or decades.

Can someone count the amount of times these kids said "like" just in this video?

The amount of things I've seen on the internet and stuff I've been asked and I'm only 16 years old. This documentary is amazing at informing people about the dangers of the internet and showing that parents need to be aware of what their child is doing. Unfortunately, my parents weren't like that and I've been scarred, but at least I learned from it and know that If I have children in the future, I'll have the information needed to protect them.

The internet will completely ruin society,,,but it's the people using it,,,the internet just speeds up the ruin.
