Time pubblica un bell'articolo di Danah Boyd, che sintetizza il suo recente lavoro, gią passato in lista grazie se non sbaglio a Monica Senor.
"Locked indoors, unable to get on their bicycles and hang out with their
friends, teens have turned to social media and their mobile phones to
gossip, flirt and socialize with their peers. What they do online often
mirrors what they might otherwise do if their mobility weren’t so
heavily constrained in the age of helicopter parenting"
E conclude con la metafora del controllo sociale diffuso, anzichč quello
dei genitori ansiosi (helicopter parents č bellissimo) che spiano i
figli.
