Patrick Burton, Tariro Mutongwizo

Research output: Working paper

Abstract

Internet, cellular and cyber technologies have opened up a wealth of opportunities for learning, exploration, and social and public engagement by children and young people. However, such benefits are not without their dangers, and much has been made of the extant and potential hazards of such technologies.

Most commonly relating to young people, these dangers take the form of what is commonly known as cyber bullying.
