Description
A. Introduction Whether in academia or more mainstream circles, it is a cliche to talk about how children and adolescents (and all of us) today are surrounded by an array of media and communication technologies that are part and parcel of everyday life. And while not all young people have direct access to all media on a daily basis--especially several newer media--many young people encounter television, movies, music, computer/video games, magazines, billboards, posters, comics, advertisements, e-mail, websites, and instant and text-messaging as users and/or consumers in a variety of contexts. All of these media are made available through various software and hardware that quite often blur the boundaries of these media as distinct forms, as well as challenge traditions of literacy, aesthetics, identity, culture, and all of their interrelationships.
