2. Focus: The focus of this article is basically on young people and their knowledge and use of the internet. In the article Livingstone talks about kids having the upper-hand in this situation because most of their parents are clueless on how to use the internet. She profiles three different children as a part of her research. She also talks about computer use a literacy and how there is a certain learning form to using the computer and internet.

Supporting Points: The biggest supporting points are when she gives examples on the the young people. Megan is a young girl monitored and watched by her parents when she’s on the internet. She uses the internet for educational purposes, Nickelodeon games and sites pertaining to pets. But when she gets older she uses it for playing The Sums and Neopets. Anisah is also a young girl and uses the internet for educational purposes as hell due to the fact that her parents are highly educated. She uses it for school projects and research as well. She knows a lot about what to use the internet for and what not to use it for. She says that she’s never seen pornography and she doesn’t use chat rooms. Ted is a 14 year old dyslexic. He’s over protected, privately educated and watches a lot of TV. Education is not really enforced in his home as it is with the two young girls.

Essay Organization: For each main point that Livingstone makes she goes into great detail when describing that point and using facts to prove it. For example in the beginning under the point Introducing Three Children she introduces who they are, their living situations, the way internet effects their life and the different ways they use it.

Methodology: I think that as far as methodologies go Livingstone went into this with the preconceived notion that the younger generation is more educated when it comes to the internet and computer literacy. Also she goes into it knowing what computer literacy is but goes into detail to further inform the reader.

Methods: For methods Livingstone seemed to have deeply evaluated the lives of these three young people and the internet generation in itself. She had a lot of information on the main points that she wanted to talk about. She more than likely did extensive research on everything pertaining to young people and the internet. The prime example being the chart she used explaining the risks amongst teenagers.
