For the first time Internet TV surpasses our own among adolescents. This was stated by the Italian Society of Pediatrics, which recently presented the results of a survey of 1,300 pupils aged between 12 and 14 years ( http://www.sip.it/ ).
Respondents who spend more than three hours a day on the internet than those who spend more than three hours and watching TV, and lord it are the videos, you tube head (77.5%) and chat (69 %). Also the high percentage of those who use the Internet to search for information (67.5%) or to stay on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter (here the average is 64.7%, but rises to 69 among females, 1%).
In itself it is not necessarily bad because, as commented Sip President, Alberto Ugazio, " Internet is an extraordinary window on the world, with huge potential for cultural enrichment and growth, especially when compared to what is now proposed television."
The problem is that, parallel with the increased use of the Web, also increase the risks attached to it. Also from the fact that the research shows 16.7% have no qualms about giving their phone number to a stranger she met online, 22.8% to say which school he attends, 11, 2% to be seen on cam .
also concerned about the loneliness of the families. The prize of winning the trust because the parents, of which "you can always trust" for 88, 4% of respondents. But all the other adult figures below refer to a great distance: 58.8% carabinbieri and police, 55% teachers and only 39.1% of the men.
So what? The recipe comes from Dr. Ugazio always points out that certain fundamental values, such as the desire for knowledge and the ability to distinguish right from wrong, should be taught from earliest childhood because " when you get to 12-14 years is much more difficult .
add that this delicate task, however, can not simply be left to parents, but must become the patrimony of all the adult society from those who held positions of greater responsibility.
