In the video, Growing Up Online, there was an introduction type of scene explaining just exactly what the video was about, the different sides and opinions people may have on this issue and a few things to think about on the issue. Things such as the bed things that could result of children and teenagers being so involved in the growth and advancement of the internet. Then in the video takes a stand and stated what side of the arguement they were going to take. Then supported it with a few interviews from people. The people they interviewed were young people who used the internet for various different reasons but all for reasons that they would consider themselfs to be helpful. For example Autumn edows used the internet to find a place to “be herself”. Another girl used the internet to vent and deal with an eating disorder. They also used some statistics and facts on how often and for what reasons children and teenagers used the internet. The video had various counterarguments throughout the video. Some were teachers saying that new technology and the internet helps them teach the students better.
